Children's Opens Tri-Cities Clinic
Children’s Tri-Cities joined our family of regional clinics in late April. The clinic’s goal is to provide the best subspecialty care for every child in the Tri-Cities area.
Children’s clinicians will partner with community physicians in caring for patients from birth to young adulthood in cardiology, gastroenterology, genetics, nephrology, orthopedics, pulmonary and rheumatology. The Tri-Cities clinic provides regularly scheduled consultation and follow-up services. The clinic also offers fetal cardiac consultation in partnership with Tri-Cities Maternal Fetal Medicine. To refer patients, call the clinic at (509) 946-0976. For more information, visit the clinic’s Web site.
Cheryl Ricketts, RN, BSN, who has been a pediatric nurse for 11 years, manages the clinic. Ricketts has worked in several specialties and as a school nurse for special education students. For the last three years, she has worked at a local hospital in the Tri-Cities. “I am very excited about Children’s opening its own clinic in the Tri-Cities,” she says. “Now kids can get their specialty care closer to home.”
Children’s also has regional clinics in Bellevue, Everett, Federal Way and Olympia.
