Loss of One of Our LSFP Family Members

It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of one of our LSFP family members.  Debbie Ceschin, FNP was fatally killed in a biking accident while visiting family in Arizona on May 25, 2021.  Debbie was a well-respected colleague and primary care provider at our Lansdowne location. She was unwavering in her love of family, friends, and fitness. She enjoyed spending time outdoors especially with her golden retriever Cooper. She spent most of her free time running and most recently hiking or biking with family and friends. For those who knew her, her zeal for life was and continues to be infectious.  Debbie is survived by her husband Tim and their two sons, Eric and Ryan.  A memorial service is being planned by the family for June 19, 2021 at the Potomac Club Ballroom on Riverpoint Drive in Leesburg from 1-4pm.  Friends are encouraged to come anytime during that window.

Debbies’ established patients are encouraged to call our Lansdowne office if they have questions about transitioning their care to another LSFP provider.

Dear Valued Patient,

I hope this letter finds you well.  The purpose of this letter is to inform you of an upcoming change at Leesburg Sterling Family Practice (LSFP).   Please rest assured that your quality care at LSFP will not change.

I am excited to announce that effective December 29, 2020, I will be moving to a new location!  Moving forward I will be practicing at LSFP’s Stone Springs location in Dulles, Virginia, which is located at 24430 Stone Springs Boulevard, Suite 135, Dulles, Virginia 20166.  and will no longer be available to provide ongoing care to you at our Cornwall location.  It is very important to me as well as to LSFP that you maintain continuous health care. Through our electronic medical record system, I have access to continue to provide you with reliable care and will be happy to continue to serve you via telehealth or in person at the Stone Springs location, at your convenience  Though I am sad to say goodbye to our Cornwall family, I have complete trust and confidence that you will continue to receive excellent care by myself at the new location or by one of my colleagues at the Cornwall location if that is a better option for you.

You can schedule an appointment with me at Stone Springs by calling (703)957-1255.  I am available by appointment every day, Tuesday-Friday.  

Thank you for entrusting me with your most precious commodity, your health.  I look forward to continuing to serve you at my new office location.

Vaccines and Autism: Is there a connection?

Do vaccines cause autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?

Many studies have looked at whether there is a relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, the studies continue to show that vaccines are not associated with ASD. However, CDC knows that some parents and others still have concerns.

To address these concerns, CDC is part of the Inter-Agency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), which is working with the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) on this issue. The job of the NVAC is to advise and make recommendations regarding the National Vaccine Program. Communication between the IACC and NVAC will allow each group to share skills and knowledge, improve coordination, and promote better use of research resources on vaccine topics.

Measles is the most deadly of all childhood rash/fever illnesses. The disease spreads very easily, so it is important to protect against infection. To prevent measles, children (and some adults) should be vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Two doses of this vaccine are needed for complete protection. Children should be given the first dose of MMR vaccine at 12 to 15 months of age. The second dose can be given 4 weeks later, but is usually given before the start of kindergarten at 4 to 6 years of age.
