reflections Special care for children, when and where they need us. This year, CHKD continues to expand to meet the healthcare demands of every child who needs our care. We’ve opened two new health centers. One, on Butler Farm Road in Hampton, offers sports medicine rehabilitation; physical, occupational and speech therapy; lab and X-ray services. The other, in the Harbour View North area of Suffolk, offers access to pediatric specialists. We opened a new CHKD Medical Group pediatric practice, Premier Pediatrics, in the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach in July. And, by year’s end, we will open the region’s only urgent care center, just for children and teens. The first CHKD Urgent Care location will open in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake and operate after hours – meaning afternoons, evenings and weekends when your doctor’s office is closed. Our second location, inside our Oyster Point Health and Surgery Center, will open in 2015.

Our ability to meet the special healthcare needs of children is possible only with your donations. As we continue to grow, we hope you will continue to provide support that enables us to care for the children in our community, when and where they need us.
