Important Memo from Dr. Linda Purcell
It is with great sadness that I inform you that Dr. Welham is leaving Fredericksburg to return to her home in Hawaii. She has been an amazing physician to all of her patients and to the staff. She will be greatly missed but I wish her well in her new home and practice. We’ve been honored to have her for 12 years!
In October, Jennifer Bodin will join us as our new pediatric nurse practitioner. You may remember her from clinicals with Laura Larson. Jennifer has 11 years of experience in the emergency department and is not only qualified as a provider but has an amazing technical base (venipuncture, caths, suture removal, emergency procedures, etc.). I hope to transition many of Dr. Welham’s patients to her care.
Even though there are many changes, each provider brings unique qualities to our patients. We will miss Dr. Welham’s extraordinary compassion, skill and empathy.
Welcome... Jennifer Bodin, CFNP

**Nationwide Pentacel Vaccine Shortage**
We feel the need to inform you, our valued parents and patients, of a Nationwide shortage of the Pentacel Vaccine (combination of Dtap, IPV, HIB Vaccine). This vaccine is generally given at the 2, 4 and 6 month well visits. Sanofi Pasteur, the company that produces Pentacel will be in short supply of this vaccine through this summer however will be offering the components on an individual basis. As a result, please understand that their may be a few extra injections given to infants during his/her well baby visits.
Please feel free to discuss any questions or concerns with your provider at your child’s well visit.
