​
Adolescence is an exciting time of physical and emotional growth and self-discovery. It is also a time of increasing independence and challenges, as teenagers begin to experience the world as young adults. Our providers use this time to nurture a teenager’s development, and can help when there are significant concerns.

Adolescent Health
The teenage years can be filled with uncertainty for both the teens and their parents. We offer teens a safe place where their health needs and questions can be addressed in a confidential way, while at the same time working to facilitate communication with parents.
Out of respect for a teenager’s privacy and emerging role in personal decision-making, a portion of time during adolescent check-ups will be offered as one-on-one time with their provider.
​
To help address the physical, emotional and social needs of our teens here are some of the services we offer:
-
Annual well checkups
-
Sports physicals

Cholesterol screens

Depression Screens

Adolescent immunizations
