Power of Attorney form now available online
To help parents and guardians who need to leave a child in the care of another adult, we have created a form consistent with the Arizona Revised Statute (A.R.S. 14-5104) which states: A parent or a guardian of a minor or incapacitated person, by a properly executed power of attorney, may delegate to another person, for a period not exceeding six months, any powers he may have regarding care, custody or property of the minor child or ward, except power to consent to marriage or adoption of the minor.
High Tech and Healthcare
Technology and the internet impact healthcare in many ways. Ponderosa Pediatrics works hard to embrace new technologies and give patients opportunities to access information and research various health related issues.

These sources are interesting reads and provide good general information, but outside the context of doctors, could prove wrong and have serious consequence.
