The New Village Pediatrics
Kim Gush MD/PhD and Maria Mekeel, RN
We’ve rebuilt our web services from the ground up to better serve our Chapel Hill community. Our new website is a collaboration between staff and patients, designed to give parents the best local information about pediatrics. We have also added the Patient Portal to our electronic medical record so that patients can request appointments, view lab results, request a nursing callback or e-message, and request prescription refills, all without ever picking up the phone! Please feel free to comment on our testimonials, news, or healthcare blog posts. You can even become a fan of Village Pediatrics on Facebook.
Village Pediatrics is committed to providing accessible, patient focused primary care to children ages 0-21 in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Pittsboro, and Durham. We use modern technology to provide the old-fashioned doctor-patient relationships we grew up with. Our board certified pediatricians and staff are dedicated to the health of our families as well as the health of our community. Give us a call, or drop by and meet us. We’re sure that you will agree that nobody takes care of kids like Village Pediatrics.
What is a Medical Home?
The mission of Village Pediatrics is to provide the highest standard of acute and preventative medicine to all children and adolescents in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics Medical Home Philosophy. The AAP defines a medical home as primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective At Village Pediatrics, we believe that evey child deserves a medical home. To accomplish this goal, Village Pediatrics is committed to providing exceptional service to our patients, their families, and our community. Comprehensive care requires not only good medicine, but also counseling, friendship, support, and community involvement. Come see how our commitment to comprehensive care makes us different.
A sick child is far more than a medical file. Children are sisters, brothers, and grandchildren. They are students, athletes, church members and an integral part of the village that we all live in. It takes a village isn’t just a motto. It is our philosophy. It has always been my philosophy, and it is wonderful to be working at Village Pediatrics with others who share that commitment. -Maria Mekeel, RN
