To Our Patients and Community

7/6/2025

This past weekend, we were made aware of a social media comment from one of our physicians. The individual is no longer employed by Blue Fish Pediatrics.

As we previously mentioned in our original statement, we strongly condemn the comments that were made in that post. That post does not reflect the values, standards, or mission of Blue Fish Pediatrics. We do not support or condone any statement that politicizes tragedy, diminishes human dignity, or fails to clearly uphold compassion for every child and family, regardless of background or beliefs.

We continue to extend our full support to the families and the surrounding communities who are grieving, recovering, and searching for hope.

Sincerely,

Blue Fish Pediatrics Leadership Team
