Business in brief: July 31, 2023

The Autism Society of Central Virginia (ASCV) has designated all four KidMed Pediatric Urgent Care centers as “Autism Friendly Communities.” KidMed is the first for-profit organization to receive the designation. Through this process, all staff members – from employees at the front desk to healthcare providers – underwent training on improving the quality of care for autistic patients and their families. Sensory kits, including headphones, fidget toys and other sensory accommodations, are now available at each of KidMed’s four locations. These include dedicated sensory-friendly rooms that have softened lighting options and minimized noises and smells. KidMed’s Save Your Spot feature also allows patients to skip the waiting room and wait in their car or at home. KidMed’s Henrico office is located at 4687 Pouncey Tract Road in Short Pump.
