It’s a very exciting week here at Family Care Partners!!! I think so at least.  This week is National Radiology Technologists Week!!  This week is for showing your hard-working, dedicated, experienced X-ray Techs how much you appreciate the excellent job they do for you every day.  Make it a point to stop by x-ray and say “hi” to your x-ray techs and let them know what a good job they are doing.  And we techs would like to thank FCP for their gifts of appreciation and the acknowledgement that has been given!!

Family Care Partners would like to say Thank You to all of our Veterans, as well as to all the men and women who have served, and still serve,  our country in the armed forces.  We at FCP feel honored to take care of the many veteran’s that come to see us, and hope that we show them respect and admiration that they definitely deserve everyday, and especially on this day.  So.. again, Thank You.

Family Care Partners is a leader in pediatrics in the Jacksonville area.  And child safety is at the top of our priority list.  We want everyone to be informed of a recall that could save lots of  little fingers..

British stroller maker Maclaren and the Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling approximately 1 million strollers after the company receiving a dozen reports of children’s fingertips getting amputated by a hinge on the strollers. The strollers in question were sold between 1999 and today. It’s a big recall in terms of the number of units affected, and because the potential injury is irreversible.

The recall includes all Maclaren single and double umbrella strollers, and the word “Maclaren” is printed on the stroller. The models involved include Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, TechnoXLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveller.

Parents should stop using their Maclaren strollers immediately, until they can get a repair kit. Maclaren will provide a hinge cover that can be ordered through its Web site, along with a special phone line.http://www.maclaren.us/recall/
