News from Dr. Schramm

Preparing for Daylight Savings Time with kids? Here's a great article from the director of the Yale Pediatric Sleep Center.  Some of you may recognize his name because I often recommend his website, drcraigcanapari.com. https://parenting.nytimes.com/sleep/daylight-saving-time?type=roundup&link=intro

Happy 4th of July everyone! Since my last post, there were 2 additional brief measles exposures at restaurants in Brentwood and Westwood on June 7 & 8 from travelers, but the incubation period has now passed with no additional cases reported.  If you would like to get updates right away, I recommend subscribing to get the L.A. Dept. of Public Health twitter/Facebook/email updates. That website is publichealth.lacounty.gov

It has now been 26 days since the last reported case of measles in Los Angeles.  Since the incubation time for measles is 21 days, this should mean we have seen the last of our local outbreak.  Parents of babies too young to be vaccinated can breathe easier and feel comfortable resuming normal activities.

Welcome!  I am happy to have this new forum in which to tell families about medical and office news that may be of interest! As of September 1, 2019, we are starting two new administrative policies for all patients.  Look for details in the mail.  You can also read about them under the "new patients" tab.
