Introducing... the new & improved Heritage Valley Website!
We tend to think of spring as a time of rebirth or new beginnings, so it seems like the perfect time to introduce Heritage Valley Health System’s new and improved website! You will still find us at www.heritagevalley.org, but so much has changed! While Chrome is the best browser to view the website, it will work with all modern browsers, including Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge. (Please note that Internet Explorer is not fully compatible with the new site.)
 
We encourage you to visit the site to see all of the enhanced features, such as Find a Doctor, Services, Patient Activity Monitor and Patient and Visitor Resources. And, of course, we’ll still keep you up-to-date on the latest vaccine news. You can also easily log into your Health Link Patient Portal, or create an account if you haven’t yet done so!
 
Heritage Valley Health System has so much to offer. Please visit www.heritagevalley.org to see for yourself!
Heritage Valley Pediatrics...
Making a big difference in little people’s lives
Heritage Valley Pediatrics welcomes you and your child to experience the best in pediatric care! Our compassionate Pediatricians provide comprehensive health care to newborns through late adolescence. Through innovative health programs such as behavioral health, allergy and asthma treatments, lactation services and more, the physicians strive to improve the health and well-being of all children in their care. 

Heritage Valley Pediatrics offers physicians on-call 24 hours/day, 365 days/year and encourages families to call for guidance before heading to an emergency department or urgent care facility, as staff can often provide advice over the phone or make arrangements to have your child seen quickly, if necessary. They offer same day sick visits for acute illnesses Monday through Friday in all office locations and in Chippewa on Saturdays, in addition to well-child care, prenatal and “Meet the Practice” sessions. 

Heritage Valley Pediatrics, formerly Tri-State Pediatrics, has a well-established group of experienced Board-Certified Pediatricians and Pediatric Advanced Practice Practitioners, with years of experience ranging from 11 – 35. They provide high quality pediatric care at five convenient locations: Hopewell/Aliquippa, Beaver, Chippewa, Sewickley and Calcutta, Ohio. The practice offers appointments with either female or male Pediatricians... something especially important to many adolescents.

New patients are always welcome. Now is a great time to schedule those summer sports physicals! Please click here to find the practice location closest to you. Our website includes many informative links, including a section Just for Teens and Parents of Teens and a list of vaccines that your child may need. You can also hear from some of the providers themselves in brief video introductions. Also... be on the lookout for the return of the popular Heritage Valley Pediatrics Quick Click Clinics!

When it comes to your children, you want the best. That’s what you’ll find with Heritage Valley Pediatrics!

COVID Corner

Heritage Valley will be offering second boosters at its ConvenientCare clinics in Center Township on Tuesdays and Fridays and in Robinson Township on Thursdays. Boosters will be available from 8:00 am – 5:30 pm, by appointment only.
