At the Corner, we know good physical AND mental health care is essential for the well-being of your children. For over forty years, we’ve specialized in providing high-quality physical and mental health care to adolescents and young adults. It’s important for parents to have resources about their child’s health care needs, options, and rights.
Corner Health is a primary care physician (PCP) community health center that cares specifically for young people. The care our team provides is tailored to each patient. Yes, we offer confidential reproductive and mental health care services. But we never forget that we are caring for your child/children. We strongly encourage them to get – and keep – you involved in their health decisions.
Please feel free to accompany your child to their appointments.
You are probably the person they trust most. We want you to be involved.
