    Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine in Cannon Falls

    Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine providers get to know you and your child.

    To a pediatrician, children are not small grown-ups. From birth to young adulthood, they have health, nutrition and emotional issues that are different from those of adults. A pediatrician oversees your child's growth and development and is familiar with childhood illnesses and rare pediatric diseases. We offer pediatric specialists who have extra training to care for children's health and well-being.

    Our pediatricians are actively working in the community to prevent illness and provide education in the Cannon Falls area. Finding the right health care provider for your child is an important step toward a healthy childhood. From routine exams to management of serious illnesses, your primary care provider is your consistent source of medical support.

    Is your child feeling sick?

    We'll help you get the care your child needs, often over the phone. Call to make an appointment or to speak with a nurse to determine if your child can be cared for at home, through an office visit, or if immediate medical attention is required. For emergencies, call 911.

    Vaccinations

    Disease prevention is crucial to your health. Getting vaccinated is one of the best ways to maintain good health, and protect you and those you care about against infectious diseases. Vaccinations offer protection against serious diseases by stimulating the immune system to create antibodies against certain bacteria or viruses.

    Get vaccine guidance from Mayo Clinic, including benefits, safety, side effects and what to know about recommended vaccines for babies, children, teens, adults and during pregnancy. For recommended vaccines based on age, refer to the adult or child and adolescent schedules.

    Review the history of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccines timeline for information about major disease outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, and the impact of vaccines and research.

    Your care team

    We offer a team-based approach to support you and your health care needs. This model of care is defined by high quality, compassionate medical care delivered by a team of experts focused on getting you the right care at the right time to support your health and wellness. Care teams are your home base for getting the care you need in the most convenient and supportive ways possible.

    Members of your care team

    At the center of the care team is you, and your primary care team members will include a physician, nurse practitioners and/or physician assistants, nursing staff, and care team support staff. Each care team member has a specific role in supporting and managing your health and care. Depending on the health situation, additional care team specialists may be included, such as a pharmacist, behavioral health specialist, patient educator or dietitian. Through collaborative teamwork, your care will be delegated to the most appropriate team member to provide the medical attention and care needed.

    The benefit of having a care team

    A care team improves your care in several ways. Rather than depending on just one clinician, you now have an entire team supporting you. When you need to see a specialist, your care team will connect you to the right person. When it’s time for a preventive exam or health screening, your care team notifies you to keep you on track with recommended checkups and assessments. You also will have the ability to access care more quickly and efficiently because you now have a team of health care professionals prepared to meet your needs.

    Seeing a nurse instead of your primary care clinician

    Your appointment and the care team professional you see are tailored to address your specific health need and its complexity at that moment in time. This allows you access to the right health care professional for the right care at the right time. For example, some registered nurses are specifically trained to provide care related to recurring high blood pressure visits and Medicare annual wellness visits. If the nurse determines your condition has become more complicated, you will be referred to a nurse practitioner, physician assistant or physician for the appropriate care needed.

    Accessing the care you need

    Access to your care team is available in several ways for your convenience. You will be connected to the appropriate care team member and through the best care pathway to meet your individual needs. This may occur through a phone call, an in-person visit or through Patient Online Services.
