Pediatric
RESOURCE GUIDE
2012
Park County’s Reference Source for Parents & Caregivers
Pediatric
RESOURCE GUIDE
THE PEDIATRIC RESOURCE GUIDE is a reference source that has been created for
parents and caregivers to serve the children of Park County ages birth through 18. This is
the second edition of this guide, which will be regularly updated online and in print every
2-3 years.
This guide was created by the Park County Pediatric Community Care Team. The Park
County Pediatric Community Care Team is a collaborative of local organizations that
provide medical, social and educational services to the children of Park County. These
agencies, listed on page 2, work together to improve access to pediatric services, provide
resources and information to children and their families and develop new programs to
meet the needs of Park County’s children.
The need for this guide was identified by the Park County Pediatric Community Care Team
and by the many busy parents who reside in Park County who may not know of all of the
services available for children and teens or how to access them. Every effort was made to
include all Park County resources available for children. In addition, resources not available
in Park County are listed where they are available in the surrounding region. Types of
resources include education, childcare, healthcare, social services, recreation and church
programs, as well as information on some national organizations.
The information included here has been gathered by polling of community agencies,
compilations of existing resources and using the Internet and local telephone directories. All
tips throughout the guide are from the American Academy of Pediatrics unless otherwise
noted. If you know of additional resources that should be included here, if you have
updates or corrections for any of the entries already listed or if you would like additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact the Park County Pediatric Community Care
Team at (406) 222-7231.
To receive additional copies of the Guide or to view an electronic version of the Guide, you
may contact any of the member agencies listed on page 2. (Agency web sites where the
Pediatric Resource Guide is available are denoted with an asterisk.)

Winter is a time when household
fires occur. It is a good time to
remember to:
• Buy and install smoke alarms on every floor of your home.
• Test smoke alarms monthly.
• Practice fire drills with your children.
When your adolescent talks:
• Pay attention.
• Watch, as well as listen.
• Try not to interrupt.
• If you don’t have time to listen when your child wants to talk, set a time that will be good for both of you.

in Canada. Forty miles short of the
Canadian border and following a

Perce ceased fighting on October 5th,

immortal speech: “From where the
sun now stands, I will fight no more
forever.”

camp of Nez Perce. Colonel John

As with all media, set limits on Internet
use. Be clear about your rules and
expectations, and let your child know that
you want her to enjoy the Internet for the
wonderful resource it is. Emphasize that
the guidelines you have set up will enable
him to enjoy the Internet safely.
Weekends are good times for family
togetherness. You might go shopping as a
family, visit museums and zoos, do chores
that everyone participates in, go on hikes
or bike rides or attend religious services.
On weekends children in the middle years
can usually be allowed a later bedtime
than during the week. Keep in mind that,
although family time is essential, it is
equally important for parents to set aside
some time just for themselves.
