Grow Clinic

The Grow Clinic for Children, located in Dorchester Center, MA, is a vital resource at Boston Medical Center focused on serving children from the Greater Boston area who are facing challenges such as Failure To Thrive (FTT). We provide a comprehensive range of outpatient services including medical assessments, nutritional counseling, and developmental and social evaluations to ensure each child's unique needs are met. Our dedicated team works not only to offer clinical care but also to advocate for systemic changes that reduce childhood hunger and nutrition-related issues. Through partnerships, we connect families to essential resources including the BMC Food Pantry and provide transportation assistance for children requiring special medical care. Our outreach efforts extend to homes and community settings, offering crucial support such as nutrition home visits and connections to appropriate clothing, housing, and food assistance services. The Grow Clinic is committed to fostering healthy growth and development for all children we serve.
