We recently got beautiful new wall murals at both of our Blairsville office locations, created by local artist Taylor Schuknecht! 🎨

One office takes our patients on a colorful jungle adventure🐒🦒 🐘 while the other brings an entire underwater world to life.🪼 🐋 🐙

We love how these fun, vibrant murals have transformed the spaces and created an even more welcoming environment for our youngest patients. Come check them out in person!

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we join families, healthcare teams, and communities across the nation to honor the children bravely fighting cancer, remember those we've lost, and support the ongoing search for better treatments and cures.

At Union General Pediatrics, we stand with our young patients and their families every day, but this month, we shine an even brighter light on the importance of early detection, compassionate support, and continued research.

Childhood Cancer Facts
• Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under 15 in the U.S.
• Each year, roughly 15,000 children are diagnosed nationwide.
• Advances in medical care have dramatically improved survival rates, yet many children face long-term effects from treatment.

Union General Pediatrics proudly joins healthcare partners nationwide in recognizing National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) in August.

NIAM highlights the essential role vaccines play in protecting children, families, and communities from preventable diseases.

Vaccinations are one of the safest and most effective ways to safeguard children from serious illnesses such as measles, whooping cough, polio, and more. By keeping routine immunizations up to date, families help ensure healthier futures and reduce the spread of disease within our community.

“Our mission is to provide exceptional care for every child who walks through our doors,” said the Union General Pediatrics team.
“Staying current on immunizations is a critical part of that commitment. Vaccines save lives, and we are here to support parents with guidance, reminders, and safe, compassionate care.”

During National Immunization Awareness Month, Union General Pediatrics encourages parents and caregivers to:
• Review their child’s vaccination schedule
• Schedule upcoming immunizations or wellness visits
• Ask questions and get trusted guidance from pediatric providers
• Share accurate vaccine information with friends and family

For questions or to schedule an appointment, please contact Union General Pediatrics at 706-439-6165.

Together, we can protect our community one child at a time!
