Adolescent Medicine | Pediatric

Teens are no longer children but not yet adults. Addressing their health care needs requires not only treating identified health concerns, but also considering the complicated interactions of their ongoing developmental changes on their health care needs. Adolescent Medicine provides a variety of services in several difference locations and programs including the diagnosis and management of complicated medical and psychiatric conditions as well as health promotion in the clinical setting and in schools/childcare centers.

Note: At this time, we do not offer primary care services for adolescents except through the foster care support clinic.
