Primary Care Clinic

Adolescence can be a difficult time for both children and families. Transitioning between childhood and adulthood comes with its own set of health questions and concerns.

At Nationwide Children’s, we offer primary care services designed for adolescents and young adults ages 11 to 21. We understand that parents want to remain involved in their child’s care while children wish for more independence.

Our specially-trained physicians help families navigate this time of transition together.

Our Services

• Well/preventative care for youth ages 11-21
• Risk assessments – screening and educating adolescents about risky behavior

If you have concerns about your adolescent or teenager, make an appointment with one of our specialists for an evaluation.
