We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Dr. Raymond Kahn

Dear Patients and Families,

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Dr. Raymond Alex Kahn.

Dr. Kahn dedicated his career to caring for children and supporting families in our community. His compassion, commitment, and service touched countless lives, and he will be deeply missed by patients, staff, colleagues, and loved ones.

We understand that this news is difficult and unexpected. During this time, our team is focused on honoring Dr. Kahn's legacy by continuing to provide excellent care to our patients.

We want to reassure our patients and families that the practice is not closing. While we are currently assessing our staffing needs and determining the best path forward, our office remains open and committed to serving our community. We are actively working to expand provider availability and open additional appointment slots in the coming weeks to help meet the needs of our patients.

As we navigate this transition, some scheduling adjustments may be necessary. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work diligently to ensure continuity of care and minimize disruptions.

Out of respect for Dr. Kahn’s family, we ask that their privacy be honored during this difficult time.

Thank you for the trust you have placed in Dr. Kahn and our practice. We are grateful for the opportunity to continue caring for you and your family.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sara Goldstein and the entire Pediatrics Around the Bend family

Key Facts

How often and how many vaccines children in the U.S. receive at certain ages is based on the times when vaccines will work best with children’s immune systems and when they are most vulnerable to certain diseases. Sometimes this means children will receive multiple shots in a short period of time. There is no medical reason to delay or skip recommended immunizations.
Vaccine recommendations are largely based on a population’s risk of exposure to a disease and how that disease impacts health. For example, the United States does not recommend routine immunization for tuberculosis, typhoid, yellow fever, malaria, meningococcal disease (for infants), or dengue, while these are routinely recommended in other countries.
The cost-effectiveness of implementing a national program for a particular vaccine —how the costs of buying and administering the vaccine compare to the costs of medical visits, hospitalizations and missed work caused by the disease—is another factor that varies by country.
Certain vaccines are not available in every country, which can lead to nuances in vaccine schedules, especially for combination vaccines.
Some countries may also consider how to best incorporate immunizations into routine health visits . Where and when these routine visits occur may differ by country and therefore impact the immunization schedule. While routine vaccination often occurs in pediatric offices in the United States, many countries offer vaccines through public health programs.
Trials that compare vaccines already proven to be safe and beneficial for children to placebos (such as saline-filled shots) would not be authorized by clinical trial oversight boards in the United States due to modern ethical standards for patient safety . These standards ensure researchers do not purposely withhold beneficial treatments or preventive therapies from trial participants. No child in a vaccine trial goes unprotected without a very clear scientific and ethical reason. That’s why comparison groups in some trials may use an existing vaccine instead of saline. It’s still rigorous science—and it keeps kids safer.
