Congratulations to the winners! After reviewing hundreds of websites, Pacific Medical Training is happy to award these sites with our “Best of Pediatrics/Kids Sites” Award. With recent studies indicating that 1 in 3 children in the US is overweight, it is great to have fantastic websites like these as resources for parents, teachers and kids to learn healthy habits from.

  6. nspt4kids.com — According to a representative for North Shore Pediatric Therapy, “We have had a website since opening our practice in 1999. We started offering blogs, e-Books, downloads and other free offers for parents and professionals in 2009. Our goal is and has always been to be the thought leaders in pediatric therapy. We believe that by providing all the expert knowledge on our site we are able to help those not just in our state but all over the world, which is evidenced in our site traffic (currently over 2 mil/year), in-person visits from nationally recognized companies to learn more about how we run as a company, and large social media presence. We hope to provide even more avenues of white papers, webinars and content for people.”

  9. kresslypediatrics.com — Site founder, Sue Kressly stated “I started my first website when I opened the practice in 2004. My goal was to take the top reasons people call their pediatrician and give them access to that information 24/7 so they didn’t have to wait on hold and I could be more efficient in my office… In the next 5 years, I expect that the delivery of information via the website will mirror what our young parents wants/needs…” In addition to this great model for increasing the flow of information between parents and doctors, the site also contains several informative articles on their patient education page.
