Valley Medical Group Expands Pediatric Healthcare in Wayne
In an encouraging development for families in Northern New Jersey, Valley Medical Group and Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital have announced the opening of a second Valley-Mount Sinai Children’s Health practice located at 1578 Route 23 North in Wayne. This initiative signifies a commitment to enhancing pediatric care availability in the region, addressing the needs of a growing community.
Pediatric Care Tailored for Local Families
At the helm of this new practice is Dr. Shivani Shah, a board-certified pediatrician who leads the general outpatient pediatrics division for Valley Medical Group. Her expertise encompasses a wide range of pediatric primary and specialty care services, from routine wellness visits to vaccinations and sick visits, ensuring comprehensive healthcare for children and adolescents.
Dr. Shah's passion extends beyond typical ailments; she specializes in preventive medicine, child development, and the management of common childhood diseases like asthma and obesity. Her approach emphasizes a holistic strategy, which is vital in fostering long-term health.
Accessibility and Community Impact
"We are proud to expand our pediatric primary and specialty care to the regional community," stated Dr. J. Antonio Quiros, chair of Children’s Services for Valley Medical Group. This expansion is particularly important as it enables families in diverse areas such as Sussex County, including Andover Township, Hopatcong Borough, and Vernon Township, to receive high-quality pediatric care close to home.
According to Elizabeth Haines, COO of Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital, this new location marks a milestone, enhancing children’s access to vital services that were previously hard to find within their community. The collaboration aims to develop not just a healthcare facility, but a resource for healthier families.
Future Pediatric Services to Come
In addition to primary care, the Wayne practice will soon introduce pediatric specialty services, particularly pediatric endocrinology, expanding the scope of care available to local residents. This will complement existing offerings at their other locations, including 140 East Ridgewood Avenue in Paramus, fostering an integrated network of healthcare services catered to the pediatric population.
Investing in Children's Futures
This initiative is a demonstration of how healthcare providers can contribute to community well-being. By prioritizing children’s health, Valley Medical Group and Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital are paving the way for future generations to thrive. Ensuring that children have access to the right medical care not only improves health outcomes but also fosters a healthier society.
As these facilities begin serving families in Wayne and surrounding areas, the focus will remain on compassionate care that meets the needs of today's youth, setting the foundation for a healthier tomorrow.
