Teen Specialty Services

Special health care services at the Teen Health Center include:

Breathing Space Program: Teens often don’t know how to talk to their parents about sensitive issues such as birth control, pregnancy, mental health issues, sexuality and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Our Breathing Space program allows them to come to our program and discuss these issues, as well as ways to talk to their parents about their health concerns. There is no charge for these visits.

Plan B Contraception: The Teen Health Center offers free Plan B emergency birth control, which should be used within five days of unprotected intercourse. Call for an immediate appointment. (Keep in mind that Plan B is not as effective as regular birth control and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.)

Sports Physicals for $25: Parents’ health insurance rarely covers the costs of sports physicals required to participate on most middle and high school sports teams. The Teen Health Center offers the physicals for $25.
