Berkshire Health Systems has announced that East Elm Pediatrics has joined the BHS medical group, furthering the legacy of care provided by Dr. John C. Dallenbach and his team and providing continued access to important pediatric services for thousands of children and families.

Effective Tuesday, October 29, 2024, East Elm Pediatrics became Berkshire Health Pediatrics at East Elm, retaining the majority of the office staff and clinical care team. Dr. Dallenbach will remain at the practice during the transition period.  BHS is also in the process of actively recruiting new pediatric specialists to join the patient care team.

“We are pleased to continue the dedicated care services that East Elm Pediatrics has provided through Berkshire Health Pediatrics at East Elm,” said James Lederer, MD, BHS Chief Medical Officer and Chief Quality Officer. “The landscape for primary care and pediatrics has changed dramatically over the last decade, making it increasingly harder for offices to continue as stand-alone practices. By joining with Berkshire Health Systems, East Elm Pediatrics can continue to care for the region’s children and families and can expand the practice to meet their needs now and well into the future.”

The office remains at 426 East St. in Pittsfield. For hours of operation and appointments, call Berkshire Health Pediatrics at East Elm at 413-442-8267 or for more information visit online at www.berkshirehealthsystems.org/eastelm.
