It's once again time for kids to rock Riverview Medical Center!

On Saturday, April 13, from noon to 2 p.m., mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are encouraged to bring the kids to this truly fun health fair and learn more about the extensive capabilities of the Pediatric Care Center at Riverview Medical Center, affiliated with K.
