Child Health Services

At HHC, we know kids. Our staff understands that children are not simply “small adults.” They have unique needs and require the care of pediatricians, doctors who specialize in caring for children. We encourage you to bring your children—from newborn through age 21—to our Child Health Clinics or hospital-based pediatric and adolescent care clinics. Through routine visits in our primary care medical homes, we get to know you and your child and, together, can build a foundation for healthy living. In addition, our emphasis on preventive care helps you and your child take steps to prevent injuries and disease before they start.
