How to Schedule an Appointment in MyKidsChart

  • Log in to MyKidsChart.
  • From the main menu, select Schedule Appointments.
  • Choose the patient for whom you want to schedule the visit.
  • Select the Primary Care Provider.
  • Pick the date and time that work best for you from the available options.

We hope this allows you to spend more time with your kids and less time on your phone. You will still need to call the front desk to schedule sick visits, chronic condition appointments, and behavioral health appointments.

NSP Statement regarding CDC Revised Childhood Immunization Schedule for 2026

/in /by
On January 5, the CDC released a substantially revised 2026 Childhood Immunization Schedule, reducing the number of routinely recommended vaccines for children from 17 to 11. The Washington State Department of Health (WA DOH), West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) caution that this federal decision bypasses standard scientific review and overlooks disease-specific risks and public health infrastructure unique to the United States.
 
Our providers along with the organizations mentioned above continue to strongly recommend following the AAP’s evidence-based vaccine schedule. All vaccines will remain fully covered by insurance for the 2026 plan year.
