Pediatric Links and Resources
HealthyChildren.org: a website with a plethora of health topics including growth, development, behavior and common conditions.
Kids Health: Run by Nemours Children's Hospital, this site has information for kids, adolescents, and parents in both English and Spanish about specific diseases, how the body works, and how to stay healthy.

“When our family first moved to Yakima with our two year old daughter, it was very difficult to find a good pediatrician. We went through three different physicians before being lucky enough to find Dr. Lancaster. When we had our second child, there was no one we trusted more than Dr. Lancaster to provide medical care. She is more than a doctor, she is a friend who cares about the health of our kids. She is amazing with our kids, listens to our concerns and shows compassion and knowledge. She has gone above and beyond so many doctors that we have been to and I am comforted knowing that she is there for my family!”
- Debbie, mother of 2
