Foster Care Clinic

As part of Children's Advocacy team, the Foster Care Clinic addresses the medical and behavioral health needs of children in foster care. Foster children often experience gaps in care, such as missing immunizations, medication for chronic conditions and dental or vision services. Many also require emotional and behavioral support, especially those who have experienced trauma, which can lead to long-term health issues.

Our team works with Project Harmony and other state agencies to provide thorough exams during a single visit. Results are shared with the birth family, foster family, caseworkers and primary care provider. A follow-up appointment with a primary care provider is scheduled to monitor the child’s health.
