Brenner Expands to Lexington

Brenner Children’s Hospital has recently expanded its services to Wake Forest Baptist Health Lexington Medical Center through a new pediatric hospitalist program. Two Brenner Children’s pediatric physicians – Drs. Matthew Albert and Paul Sagerman –provide dedicated, full-time patient care at the hospital for children of all ages, from infants to adolescents. The new program gives patients and families onsite access to physicians who exclusively care for pediatric patients in the emergency department, those who are admitted as inpatients, or those born here and staying in the nursery.

In addition, Drs. Michael Kidder, Elizabeth Reichard, Heather Anderson-Firebaugh, and nurse practitioner, Patricia Lookabill at Brenner Children’s Hospital Pediatrics – Lexington, a hospital-based clinic, care for children and adolescents from birth to age 21. Wake Forest Baptist Health is excited to extend these services to residents in and around Davidson County.  The Lexington team looks forward to growing and expanding their pediatric services. For more information, click here.

It’s a Total Eclipse of the Sun …

Don’t miss this once-in-a lifetime event — join Kaleideum North on August 21, from 11 am to 4 pm for a Solar Eclipse Party!

People across the United States will see the sun disappear behind the moon. Daylight will be turned into twilight and temperature will drop. This is the first solar eclipse in the continental United States since 1978 — and the first one to run from “sea to shining sea” since 1918.

You can celebrate this amazing event with Kaleideum! The “party” will feature science demonstrations, crafts, special Planetarium shows, and professional telescopes for safe sun-viewing. Bring your own cereal box to make a solar eclipse viewer to take home! All activities are included with Museum admission and free for members.

The eclipse begins at 1:12 pm with peak coverage (approximately 95 percent of the sun) at 2:41-2:43 pm. The first 100 attendees for the 11 am Planetarium show will receive a free pair of solar eclipse viewing glasses!
