You Have Questions. We Have Answers
12/11/2009

As the region’s leader in caring for children, Rockford Health System knows that parents have a lot of general medical questions about children.  However, you might not know where to find the answer. 

Now, all you have to do is log onto facebook and ask our pediatrician!  Dr. Juliet Ugarte Hopkins, a pediatric hospitalist, will answer general questions, but of course can not give advice about a specific child.

She’ll answer common parent questions like “should I give my child Tylenol whenever he has a fever?”  or “how do I know if my baby is spitting up too much?”

Just go to www.facebook.com/rockfordhealthsystem
