Teen Health Clinic
Teens and young adults need special medical care. They also need a doctor they feel like they can talk to about anything, for example, questions about their health or illness; sexual concerns and emotional problems. Parents need support and guidance through these years too.
Yakima Pediatrics Teen Health Clinic offers routine health care to all patients ages 13-18+ years in a safe and relaxed space. We want to work with you and your family to meet all of your health care needs and to help you make the best choices for a healthy future.
The Teen Health Clinic is open Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 11:30am-8pm.
We offer all primary care services with a special focus on reproductive and sexual health, as well as mental and emotional health evaluation and support.

It is important to know that if your teen is doing anything to hurt themselves or others, or if someone is hurting them, we will be forced to break confidentiality.
We want to encourage teens to seek health care when they feel they are in need. Our goal is to assist teens and families with this time of change. We want to help strengthen relationships among teens and families. Our team of providers and services can help bridge the gap that we know exists, and help you deal with the questions and concerns of teen reproductive, sexual and
