Memorial Day

2016

Founded in 1978 by Dr. Peter Kenny, Northampton Area Pediatrics has been serving families in the Pioneer Valley for over 35 years.  With two friendly locations, extensive office hours, and an excellent medical staff with seven pediatricians and three nurse practitioners, our practice provides robust, innovative, and family-centric care to infants, children, and adolescents in western Massachusetts.

To help you get acquainted with our practice, we have provided you with important background information about our pediatricians, staff, office hours, appointment procedures, finance policies, maps, directions to our offices, and other useful information.

Our providers believe exceptional care is obtained when there is an on-going relationship between the doctor or nurse practitioner and the patient.  We want to be lifelong partners in your child’s health.  We achieve this goal by listening to your questions and concerns, and educating you on how to promote a healthy lifestyle for the entire family.

We want to thank you for choosing Northampton Area Pediatrics for your child’s medical care.  For questions or to schedule a visit, contact our office today!

Current News
Measles
The United States is seeing a sudden increase in the number of cases of measles.   When the measles vaccine was introduced in the early 1960's there was a dramatic decrease in the number of cases in the United States to the point that in 2000 the CDC declared the virus to be eliminated.  However, because of an increase in the number of unvaccinated children, there have been an increasing number of cases with 764 reported in 2014 and over 100 cases reported in January 2015.  Most of these cases have been seen in unvaccinated adults and children and have been the result of an outbreak starting in Disneyland.   Fourteen states have seen cases of measles this year, although none have yet to be reported in Massachusetts.  For more information, please click on the link below.
