As we wrap up World Breastfeeding Week, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Lexington Health for hosting such a wonderful Breastfeeding Symposium last night. 💕🍼

Our incredible International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) had a fantastic time connecting with fellow lactation consultants, doulas, nurses, and other maternal and infant health professionals from across our community. We were especially proud to see our own IBCLCs sharing their expertise through a presentation on bridging the gap between inpatient and outpatient lactation care.

At South Carolina Pediatric Alliance, we're passionate about supporting families throughout their entire breastfeeding journey. Whether you're preparing for baby's arrival, working through feeding challenges, or simply looking for reassurance, our IBCLCs are here to provide personalized, compassionate care every step of the way.💜💚

If you need assistance, please:
📞 Call one of our other SCPA office locations, and our team will be happy to help you.

💻 Send us a message through the patient portal, and a team member from another office will respond as soon as possible.

We appreciate your patience as we work to restore service. Thank you for your understanding!💜

🏈⚽🏀 A new season will be here before you know it... is your athlete ready?!

Before practices begin and game days arrive, schedule your child's sports physical with the provider who knows them best.

At South Carolina Pediatric Alliance, a sports physical is more than checking a box. It's an opportunity to make sure your child is healthy, growing well, and ready for a safe, successful season.

Your child's pediatrician will:
✅ Review their medical history and any previous injuries
✅ Evaluate overall health, growth, and development
✅ Discuss nutrition, hydration, and healthy habits for active kids
✅ Address any questions about sports participation or injury prevention
✅ Provide personalized care based on your child's unique health needs

Skip the last-minute rush and schedule your child's sports physical alongside their annual well visit. It's one convenient appointment that helps prepare them for the season ahead.

📅 Call your SCPA office or schedule through the Patient Portal today!
