Utah Valley Pediatric nurse practitioner Viki Bailey will be working at the new clinic.

Children in Sanpete County now have access to pediatric care as Utah Valley Pediatrics recently opened its newest location in Ephraim. The new office, located off of North Main Street, will seek to maintain UVPs mission: Helping Children Be Healthy.

At Utah Valley Pediatrics, our providers receive extra training in the care of children, from infants to teenagers. That makes us more qualified to care for kids, said UVP administrator Kevin Moffitt. Our record of caring for children throughout Utah County is really unparalleled.

Were excited to expand, and we look forward to bringing the same quality of care children deserve to Ephraim and all of Sanpete County.

The new Utah Valley Pediatrics office is currently staffed by Viki Bailey, a family nurse practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing degree from South University in Georgia. For as long as she can remember, Bailey wanted to be a nurse, but she says she found her true calling in 2018 once she began working in an urgent care that focused only on children.

Ive known I wanted to be a nurse since I was 4 years old, said Bailey, who speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. As a mother of seven children, I completely empathize with parental concerns and worries as they relate to the health of their own children. My goal is to enthusiastically connect with the kids while addressing the concerns of parents as we face future health challenges together.

Bailey will be supported by the 31 full-time, board-certified pediatricians currently working in UVP offices throughout Utah County. These board-certified pediatricians specialize in childrens health and have an additional 30 months of training in child health beyond a family practice physician.

Utah Valley Pediatrics, Sanpete County Office is currently open 5-9 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays. To schedule an appointment, please call (435) 266-0500. Phone calls are answered 24/7.

Utah Valley Pediatrics, Sanpete County Office is located at 43 E. 450 North in Ephraim.
