Mary Bridge Children’s

Pediatrics Northwest and Mary Bridge Childrenā€™s have worked together for many years and share a passion and commitment for expanding access to health services to give children the support they need for healing and a healthy future. Together, we will focus on improving the health of children in the communities we serve with innovative solutions and programs for families, and coordinated care for your child.

Reach Out and Read

ā€œThe single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.ā€
ā€”
The Commission on Reading,Ā Becoming a Nation of Readers

Pediatrics Northwest is pleased to be an ongoing partner with the national award-winning Reach Out and ReadĀ program. Reach Out and Read makes books part of a healthy childhood and a standard part of pediatric care. Through this program, children grow up with books and develop a love of reading.

New books to take home

At every well-child exam from the age of birth to 5 years, our patients receive a new, developmentally-appropriate childrenā€™s book to take home and keep. In fact, we raise funds for Reach Out and Read and distribute more than 12,000 books annually to our families.

Support Reach Out and Read

Our Reach Out and Read program is funded by the 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Friends of Pediatrics Northwest. Donations are appreciated and can be made as a one-time gift or on a monthly recurring basis. Every $3 given purchases 1 book, and every little bit makes a difference!
