Health Care For Infants & Children (0-18 Yrs.)

Our providers work together with parents and guardians to make sure children aged 0-18 receive the recommended medical services they need to keep them safe and healthy.

We monitor the child’s health care, track their growth and emotional progress, and build their knowledge and understanding of themselves and their bodies. Our pediatric and adolescent (CAMP) care teams provide a medical home to our young patients, by providing unbroken care as they grow, develop and mature through childhood into adolescence.

CHANGES IN CARE

Our Pediatricians, Family Medicine providers and Adolescent Medicine Specialist are all in the same building, so a child’s medical care management continues without interruption. Our providers are uniquely qualified to guide children, adolescents and parents through the physical and emotional changes that occur during adolescence. As they grow from childhood to young adulthood, young patients have the chance to meet their new providers as they transition to adult care. This will enable them to continue to get medical care at VCH through the years.
