Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.1257“In pediatrics, my goal is to be the parents’ partner in caring for their children’s health and development. Parenting children should be fun. If we are not having fun, then we need to rethink what we are doing.”

Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.1257"Growing up in a single-parent home, I was concerned with having the funds for college and medical school. Early on, I thought that it would be a big challenge to try to overcome, but I was blessed with a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies, various financial aid, and scholarships for medical school, including funds from the Christie Foundation."

Theresa Hardy
Christie Clinic on Windsor/Convenient Care217.366.1257In my dual roles as newborn nurse practitioner and Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I find it extremely rewarding to provide new parents with the information, skills, and support they need to navigate the biggest role change in their lives with confidence. Parents truly appreciate a holistic approach that addresses their newborns’ medical issues, understanding infant behavior and cues, as well as feeding issues. They also appreciate that I am available as a resource and support for breast feeding through baby’s first year and beyond.
