ADOLESCENT CARE

At the MNPS Health Care Centers, we treat the whole family! “Even kids?” you might ask. Yes! We can treat your children, too.

​

Preteen and teen years are times of big changes for your child’s body and mind. Our practitioners can help your adolescent navigate those changes — in a confidential setting that’s relaxed and comfortable. In addition to annual physicals and care when they’re sick, we can also provide guidance on specific issues adolescents face, such as:

• Bullying

• Body image/weight concerns

• Sexual health/STDs

• Menstruation/birth control

• HPV vaccine (to prevent cancer)

• Substance/tobacco use

• Nutrition/eating disorders

• Behavioral health/anxiety/depression

• Asthma/respiratory health

• Skin care

• Sleep

• Exercise

• ADHD

• Autism

• Immunizations

• Other gender-specific and general well-child care

​

Our NPs are committed to providing a trusting environment for your child and help him/her feel comfortable discussing the sensitive issues associated with growth and development. Learn more about each of our providers by visiting MNPSHealth.org/staff.

​

If your child(ren) are covered as dependents under the MNPS Cigna health plan, there is no cost to you to use Center services. If they are covered under a different plan, they can still use the Centers and we’ll bill your insurance.
