COVID-19 Visitor Restrictions
While COVID-19 continues to surge in our community, Woodcreek Pediatrics is observing a strict visitor policy:
- Patients over two months of age may be accompanied by one (1) adult caregiver.
- Siblings will not be allowed into the clinic unless they also have an appointment.
We're Now on Epic!
On Monday, Dec 7, Woodcreek Pediatrics - Mary Bridge Children's began using the same electronic medical record used throughout MultiCare Health System: Epic. We're quickly learning how to use the new software and we appreciate your patience while we work through this period. If you're a Woodcreek (or MultiCare) patient, be sure to sign up for the MyChart patient portal - it's really easy to do and you'll find all sorts of great tools there to help manage your child's care. You can sign up by clicking here.

Restarting Pediatric Sick Care in our Clinics
Since the COVID-19 outbreak started, we have been restricting access to our pediatric primary care clinics to patients and family members who do not have symptoms of, or exposure to, coronavirus infection. We know that's been difficult for many of our patients and families - when your child is sick, you want to see your pediatrician.
To that end, we're launching a pilot "sick clinic" in our Bonney Lake office - during the months of October and November, we will schedule patients with fever, cough, sore throat and other symptoms of COVID-19 for care by their pediatrician. This will be done in a very controlled way and there will be no interaction with healthy families.
How will it work? We see these patients in a separate part of the clinic, away from common areas where potential exposures might occur. When a family is scheduled, they will be told to remain in their car until we're ready for them, and to follow the signs to our back door where we'll admit them directly to the exam room. When the appointment is over, they'll leave the same way. Everyone coming to the appointment will be required to wear a mask and the rooms will be thoroughly cleaned between patients.
