Adolescent and Young Adult Health
Adolescents and young adults have unique health care needs. That's why Children's Hospital offers the Adolescent and Young Adult Health Clinic in Nashville. Our team specializes in promoting the physical and emotional well-being of adolescents and young adults from ages 12 to 22. Our services include outpatient and inpatient care.
In addition to primary care, we offer subspecialty consultations to help referring professionals care for adolescent and young adult patients with concerns about reproductive health, eating disorders, growth and development, chronic pain and other conditions. At your referring provider's request, we will assume responsibility for your child's care until the problem is resolved.
Our team has the experience and specialized training to care for a variety of adolescent and young adult health issues beyond acute illness and injury. We treat patients with complex medical and psychosocial concerns. Our team also coordinates services for adolescents and young adults with special health care needs.
