Adolescent and Young Adult Health Services
Care Focused on Young People
The Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine team understands the unique health needs that can arise during adolescence and young adulthood.
Our primary care services are available for teens and young adults ages 12 through 22 and include yearly checkups, sports physicals, care for conditions such as asthma and acne, and support and treatment for anxiety and depression. We also provide sexual and reproductive healthcare, including contraception and the prevention and treatment of STIs and HIV.
For young people who need more specialized care, we offer consultative services and specialized programs and clinics. These include the Substance Use Recovery Program, Hypermobility Clinic, Eating Disorders Program, and Living With Change Center. Many of these specialized programs and clinics serve young people through age 25.
Coordinated Whole-Person Support
Health concerns can affect many areas of a young person’s life. Our team works closely with specialists across Cincinnati Children’s to address physical health, mental health and emotional well-being as part of a coordinated approach to care.
We partner with Behavioral Health, Psychiatry, Nutrition and Social Services to connect patients and families with the support if needed. This collaborative approach helps ensure care can adapt as a young person’s needs change.
Dedicated Support Beyond Visits
Some health concerns require support between appointments. Our dedicated nurse coordinators provide triage and guidance to help patients and families understand what to do next when questions or concerns arise.
Nurses and social work care managers also support patients receiving primary care, giving families additional resources and ways to connect with the care team between visits.
Experience Families Can Trust
Our team cares for more than 7,000 patients each year and we work closely with patients and families so they feel informed, heard and confident in their health and wellness care.
