Valley Health announces that Pediatric Associates of Winchester, at 1002-C Amherst St., has joined Valley Health, effective March 2, 2026. Going forward, the practice will be known as Valley Health Pediatrics. While the name is new, families can expect the same trusted care they know and value. The practice will remain in its current location, and the dedicated team of caregivers will continue to serve patients, providing the compassionate, high‑quality pediatric care the community has relied on for years.  

“We are excited to welcome this experienced team of pediatricians, nurse practitioner and staff to the Valley Health family, and we are dedicated to continuing the exceptional care the practice has provided to children in our community for decades,” says Kevin Volkema, DO, MBA, Regional Medical Director, Valley Health Primary Care. “We believe this transition will provide more seamless care between the practice and primary care, specialty, diagnostic, and hospital inpatient and outpatient services within the health system, ultimately improving the patient experience.” 

The practice’s legacy of care in the Winchester community dates back to 1972. Since its inception, the practice has been staffed by board certified pediatricians and has maintained a steady focus on excellence in pediatric care. Today, the practice consists of a team of highly skilled and caring professionals, dedicated to providing the best quality health care in a responsive and comfortable environment. Clinicians include Jennifer Currie, DO, Mounira A. Dahimene, MD, Susan J. Gawalt, MD, Bryan A. Kornreich, MD, Colette M. Sabbagh, MD, and Laura E. Grove, PNP, BC.  

“The team here has always prided itself in providing the best care possible to our patients and their families,” says pediatrician Bryan Kornreich, MD. “As we join Valley Health, we are excited to continue keeping the children of our area healthy and happy and to enhance the overall quality of care for our families.”  

This transition reflects Valley Health’s continued commitment to expanding access to exceptional pediatric care while preserving the strong relationships between caregivers, patients, and families. We look forward to continuing to care for our community’s children—today and for generations to come.
