Services

The Adolescent Medicine Division provides inpatient consultations, outpatient consultations and comprehensive primary care for patients ages 12 through 25. Working with a multidisciplinary team, we specialize in treating adolescents and young adults with menstrual and gynecologic concerns, family planning issues, eating disorders, and mild mental health conditions.
