Newborn & Pediatric Care
Compassionate Care for Your Child’s Health & Development
At Agape Health, we believe every child deserves compassionate, individualized care that supports healthy growth and development from the very beginning of life. We proudly care for infants beginning around two weeks of age through adolescence, partnering with families to help children thrive physically, emotionally, developmentally, and mentally.
We understand that every child is unique. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed medical care while building lasting relationships with families based on trust, education, and open communication.
Experience You Can Trust
Before becoming a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Shay Whetstone spent 13 years caring for newborns and children as a registered nurse, including extensive experience in Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) and pediatric nursing.
Caring for premature infants, critically ill newborns, and children throughout every stage of development has provided a strong foundation for delivering compassionate, family-centered care. Combined with years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner, this background allows Agape Health to care for children with both confidence and compassion.

Empowering Families
At Agape Health, we believe parents know their children best.
Our role is to provide compassionate medical guidance, explain the best available evidence, answer your questions, and empower your family to make informed decisions that are right for your child. We respect that every family has unique values, preferences, and goals, and we believe healthcare decisions should always be made through a collaborative partnership between families and their healthcare provider.
A Balanced, Whole-Person Approach
We believe many childhood illnesses and health concerns can be supported through healthy nutrition, quality sleep, physical activity, stress reduction, and other natural approaches when appropriate. We also recognize that modern medicine plays an important role, and medications are recommended when they are clinically indicated and in the best interest of your child.
Our philosophy is not “natural versus traditional” medicine—it is choosing the right treatment at the right time for each individual child. By thoughtfully integrating evidence-based medicine with healthy lifestyle practices, we strive to support the body’s natural healing abilities while ensuring children receive safe, effective, and compassionate care.
Our Philosophy
Children deserve more than routine medical care—they deserve a provider who takes the time to listen, educate, and build lasting relationships with both the child and their family.
At Agape Health, we are committed to caring for the whole child by supporting healthy growth, encouraging lifelong wellness habits, and empowering families with the knowledge and confidence to make the best decisions for their children.
We believe healthcare is most effective when families are informed, supported, and empowered—because every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and live a healthy, vibrant life.
