Does Your Child Need an Urgent Visit?
Woodcreek Pediatrics wants to remind our families that the virtual urgent care service from Mary Bridge Children's Hospital is a great resource to use as we enter this cold and flu (and COVID) season. If your regular provider is unavailable, give our virtual providers a try!
Urgent Care Clinics CLOSED on Easter Sunday
The Mary Bridge Urgent Care clinics at Woodcreek will be closed on Sunday, April 20, in observance of Easter. We wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday. All clinics will reopen at 8:00am on Monday, April 21.
Our Sunrise Clinic is Getting Bigger!
Woodcreek acquired more space in the building that is home to our Sunrise clinic, which will allow us to bring on more primary care providers to serve the community. The first two, Dr. Howard Capon and Lyne Liboiron-Bouie ARNP, will join us in March, with more trickling in over the next several months.
To make room for these new PCPs, Woodcreek Sunrise's Mary Bridge Urgent Care will move on March 21. Please plan on coming to the new entrance on the west side of the building, which is to the right and around the corner from the old suite, if you are visiting us for urgent care services.

Billing for Some MyChart Messages Starting July 1
MultiCare, Woodcreek Pediatrics' parent organization, has announced that it will begin billing for some complex MyChart messages beginning July 1, 2024. More information about this can be found here: MyChart Messaging - MultiCare.
Primary Care Appointments Limited to Assigned PCPs
In early March, we sent letters to all patients seen by our primary care providers since Jan 1, 2021, informing their families of a new policy that begins on April 1, 2024: patients contacting us for well check and med check appointments, or for care related to their chronic conditions, will only be offered appointments with their assigned primary care provider. The letter is included below for more details.
To be clear, this is not the only reason you can see your PCP! You can book any appointment you need to with them. However, appointments for the above conditions will only be booked with your PCP going forward. If you need care for a sick child, any of the providers in your PCP's clinic are available to you - as is any Mary Bridge Urgent Care location.
Not sure if your child's PCP is listed correctly? Please refer to your letter, check what is listed in MyChart, or contact our office to confirm. We will be glad to update the records - though please note the restriction on your selection being a provider your child has seen in the last two years. You can submit your request to us via our Contact page (select PCP Reassignment).

Woodcreek Pediatrics Now Offers Sports Medicine
Woodcreek Pediatrics - Mary Bridge Children's is excited to announce a new specialty service available to the community: pediatric sports medicine. More information is available on our sports medicine page - if you have a young athlete in the home, our specialist can provide state of the art care and treatment, with referrals as needed to our partners at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.
Sports Physicals are Available in our Urgent Care Clinics
Back to school season is the busiest time of year for a pediatrics practice, and appointments can be hard to come by. Does your child need a sports physical? If so, consider a visit to one of our urgent care clinics - our providers can do a sports physical there if needed! If you want to be seen there, here's a few important things to know:
- Please be aware that insurers don't cover sports physicals provided in an urgent care setting. The 2023 fee is $99 and is payable when you check in for the visit. We do not bill later for this service.
- Walk-in availability in the urgent care clinics is very tight, so please book your appointment in advance. You can do so via our urgent care clinic page.
