As the ongoing federal government shutdown continues to strain families across the nation, one Georgia pediatric practice is stepping up to lend a helping hand. Dr. Miniyar’s Pediatrics, P.C. announced it will provide free pediatric medical care to the children of federal employees affected by the shutdown and uncertain about their next paycheck.
“At times like these, when many hardworking federal employees face financial and emotional uncertainty, families feel the weight most deeply — especially those with young children,” said Dr. Raj Miniyar, M.D., founder of Dr. Miniyar’s Pediatrics. “We believe that every child deserves consistent comfort, health, and care — no matter what’s happening in Washington. Illness doesn’t wait, and neither should compassion.”
The practice said the initiative is designed to help ease the burden on parents struggling with financial instability, ensuring that children continue to receive the medical attention they need.
“When parents are worried about stability, their children still need the same steady support and reassurance,” Dr. Miniyar said. “No child will ever be turned away, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.”
The free care program is available immediately at all four of Dr. Miniyar’s Pediatrics locations — Rome, Cartersville, Cedartown, and Trion, Georgia.
Families can learn more or schedule an appointment by visiting www.DRMINIYAR.com or calling any Dr. Miniyar’s Pediatrics office.
