Teen Health: Specialized Care in New York City
Teenagers have different needs than younger children. HHC adolescent health experts evaluate older children for possible health risks from:
- Tobacco
- Alcohol and/or drug use
- Sexual activity
- Emotional stresses from school, work or just growing up
HHC cares for teens in our adolescent health centers, our hospitals and at our diagnostic and treatment centers, where we also practice reproductive and adolescent medicine. Some of our facilities offer specialized adolescent health programs to mentor and educate teens about healthy living and safe choices. Our adolescent health specialists speak the languages of the communities they serve.
HHC also offers primary and preventive healthcare services to adolescents right in the school they attend, in our School-Based Health Centers.
