PediatricsNow was founded in 2005 by Gwenn
Schurgin O’Keeffe, M.D., F.A.A.P. As a mother and pediatrician, Dr. Gwenn saw a void in consumer health information for today’s busy families and began her quest to get practical health information out to as many local parents as possible. Using her columns as the backbone, PediatricsNow provides families with the health information they want. Much of the editorial content is reader drive by questions and emails to Dr. Gwenn. Other popular features include an extensive library of resources including summaries of current health studies, the popular Dr. Gwenn Is In Blog, and reviews of resources and web sites.
Dr. Gwenn initially hoped to reach out to families in New England but today Pediatrics Now is read by an international audience and families all over the United States. So, instead of a virtual New England village, PediatricsNow has become a true online melting pot. If only there was a way to have coffee with all those people and really talk. Perhaps someday!
