我们的历史
1991年,Eve Kimball博士在宾夕法尼亚州雷丁市北第五街326号开设了有关儿童儿科伴侣(AACPP),位于宾夕法尼亚州雷丁的1,200平方英尺零售商店。
1995年,AACPP的宿舍太大了,并搬到了曼恩商学院/ST。约瑟夫诊所位于雷丁的南第五街132号。同年,它成为了美国第一个私人执业,并阅读了全国的网站。自那时以来,AAC已向学龄前儿童和国家地理杂志,书籍和食谱分发了200,000多本书,并在检查和随访或访问中向大孩子分发。
翻新后,2001年,AACPP移至301 Penn Avenue,Suite 200。这种实践有着悠久的历史,这些历史是来自不同背景的欢迎人,并为他们提供了适当的文化服务。我们的员工反映了我们社区的多样性。
On June 25, 2008, the team began practicing at 655 Walnut Street (7th Avenue and Walnut Street) in West Reading. This facility is easily recognized thanks to beautiful murals depicting the years and activities of children from age 0 – 18. Mike Miller of Berks Community Murals, Andrew Ponchan of the Yocum Institute, and art education students of Wyomissing High School are the creative talent behind our 43 murals. The 16,000 plus square-foot facility was remodeled especially for the practice. It was designed with infection-prevention strategies such as direct exhausting of air from patient areas to the outside, 28 examining rooms, and in 2020 curbside visits. Visitors should see if they can identify Beethoven’s Fifth and Brahms’ Lullaby in the clouds on the building’s parapets.
2019年,AACPP加入了宾夕法尼亚州立卫118金宝搏抽水生,并成为宾夕法尼亚州立卫生医疗小组 - 所有有关儿童的信息,扩大了儿童在家附近获得综合医疗保健服务的机会。Read more about our expansion.
