Start Line's Staff Appreciation Event 2026 is in the books! We had hoped for a beautiful day and like our staff, it couldn't have been better. Unfortunately, a few could not attend (don't worry, they didn't go overboard). We are so grateful for each and every one.

Shout out to the crews of the Schooner Thomas Lannon and the 1606 Restaurant at the Beauport Hotel in Gloucester for a wonderful event.

Start Line Families,

On the Cape or Nantucket for a weekend, a week, or the Summer and need urgent care? We are part of the Boston Children's Physician Group (PPOC) and are pleased to announce that several PPOC practices on Cape Cod and the South Shore are now opening their doors to our Start Line Pediatrics patients who are vacationing in these areas. Depending on your insurance, you may need a referral from our office. Please call the practice directly to schedule and appointment and let them know you are a patient at Start Line Pediatrics, member of the PPOC.

Why go to one of these practices rather than an Urgent Care Clinic? Better continuity of medical care for your child because:

1. You'll be seen by a Pediatric Clinic we trust.
2. We will have immediate access to your child's notes as we are on the same Electronic Medical Record system.

Have a safe and healthy summer from all of us at Start Line Pediatrics!

Let us not forget we are the land of the free because of the brave who answered the call to serve and defend our country with courage and selflessness. We hope you all have a safe and healthy weekend.

The office will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
