KidzCare Pediatrics has recently expanded its pediatric healthcare services in North Carolina through the addition of Oceanside Pediatrics in Morehead City, a move that significantly enhances the availability of specialized pediatric care in the region. This merger, finalized in early June, integrates Oceanside Pediatrics' longstanding commitment to exceptional care, particularly for military and underserved populations, into KidzCare's statewide network.
Oceanside Pediatrics, under the leadership of Dr. Andrew Kiluk, has served Carteret County for over 17 years, earning regional acclaim for its pediatric mental health services. The practice's integration into KidzCare Pediatrics promises to broaden access to comprehensive pediatric services, including wellness visits, immunizations, and behavioral health consultations, under the umbrella of KidzCare's mission for inclusive and accessible healthcare.
The Morehead City location now operates with adjusted hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, ensuring families have consistent access to care. Additionally, the facility's advanced emergency generator system guarantees uninterrupted services during severe weather, a critical feature for vaccine preservation and patient care continuity.
Dr. Ashok Jain of KidzCare Pediatrics highlighted the seamless integration of Oceanside Pediatrics into their network, noting the shared commitment to compassionate and comprehensive care. Dr. Kiluk expressed enthusiasm for the merger, emphasizing the enhanced resources and specialized services now available to their patients through KidzCare's extensive network.
This merger represents a significant step forward in pediatric healthcare in North Carolina, offering families in Morehead City and surrounding areas access to a wider range of services and specialized care.
