Early detection of potential health issues, sometimes as simple as a blood draw, leads to better outcomes. These visits also include vaccinations to protect against various diseases and give parents a chance to ask questions on nutrition, safety, and more. Schedule your child's well-child check today for a healthier tomorrow! ???? #WellChildCheck #SWPFC #ChildHealth #HealthyKids

?? Celebrating Our Student Preceptorship Program! ?? At Southwest Pediatric and Family Care, we’re proud to partner with colleges across the U.S. to offer clinical preceptorships, from Early College to postgraduate programs. One recent participant, Kris, joined us all the way from New Orleans as part of her journey to becoming a Nurse Practitioner. During her time with us, Kris became part of our family, and we’re thrilled to have played a role in her education. We wish Kris the best of luck and hope her story inspires others to pursue their dreams. If you're interested in learning more about our Clinical Preceptorship Program, email Joel Roque, C.O.O., at [email protected] for details and application deadlines. #ClinicalPreceptorship #SWPFC #FutureHealthcareLeaders #NursePractitionerJourney

?? Find Freedom at Southwest Therapeutics ?? Chronic pain can be a heavy burden, but when it leads to dependence on pain medications like morphine, oxycodone, or fentanyl, the situation can feel overwhelming. At Southwest Therapeutics, we understand the complexities of substance dependence and the stigma surrounding it. Many people, through no fault of their own, become reliant on medications that were meant to help. It’s time to break the silence. Substance dependence doesn’t define you, and it’s never too late to seek help. Our compassionate team offers both behavioral and medical therapy to help you regain the life you once enjoyed, free from pain and drug dependence. You deserve a future full of hope and health.

The biggest lesson we've learned at Southwest Pediatric and Family Care from trying something that failed? Even when you have a plan, things will change once you start acting on it. So many things came up that we didn't plan for, simply because we couldn't foresee them in the planning stage. It's crucial to not underestimate the bumps and hurdles along the way, as this helps in planning for mistakes or inconveniences and keeps us prepared. Having a Plan B is essential because, as a clinic, we know that things might not always turn out as planned. We use mistakes and hurdles to shape our journey, learning and adapting as we go. It's important to expect change in life and in any endeavor, as change and learning make the ride worthwhile. Trials and learning experiences can often be the best teachers, helping us grow and improve continuously. What’s one thing you tried that failed? What did you learn from it? Sharing is caring.
