We are delighted that you have chosen to allow us to help you keep your children healthy. Our team of pediatric clinicians at Boston Medical Center will work with you to provide the best possible care for your child. We provide comprehensive medical care from infancy to young adulthood. This includes routine check-ups and childhood immunizations, as well as care when your child is sick or has a chronic medical problem.
Our pediatric providers go the extra mile to help families raising children in MetroBoston. Here are a few standout elements of our practice and programs we've developed here that reflect our tradition of innovation and leadership nationally in an integrative approach to primary care for kids and families:
- Thanks to the Reach Out and Read Program, every child gets a book at every check-up from ages 6 months to 6 years old. We often have volunteers in our waiting room to read to your children.
- Our Family Navigation team can help with families around connecting with resources in their neighborhoods, including after school programs, child care and youth recreation. We check in with families around routing visits to see if there are opportunities for meeting their unmet needs, and giving them the tools they need to do so.
- Our Integrated Behavioral Health Team is on site to assist with urgent and complicated issues to support our patients and connect them to longer term therapeutic services as needed.
- Staff and interpreters are available who speak your language – no matter what it is.
- Child Life specialists are on staff to take the sting and fear out of visiting the doctor's office.
- We have expanded hours, including evenings and Saturdays to meet out patients' needs.
- We offer a number of special programs in our Primary Care Clinic, including the SOFAR clinic, the Comprehensive Care Program, the Grow Program, and the EASE/Special Education clinic to address specific challenges some families face.
- Our Adolescent Program offers preventive/wellness visits as well as services that support teens and young adults, including the CATCH (Child and Adolescent Transgender Center for Health), and reproductive and health counseling.
- We offer next generation care, including on site programs promoting financial health and literacy supports for families, like StreetCred.
- The Department of Pediatrics offers a full range of pediatric specialty care clinics and timely referrals to keep children healthy.
