Grow Clinic

The Grow Clinic for Children, located in Dorchester, MA, is dedicated to supporting children grappling with Failure To Thrive (FTT) in the Greater Boston area. As an outpatient subspecialty clinic within Boston Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics, we offer a holistic approach that includes medical assessments, nutritional counseling, developmental evaluations, and social services tailored to each child's needs. Our commitment extends beyond clinical care; we advocate for effective policies aimed at reducing child poverty and ensuring that all children have access to vital resources. Families benefit from our outreach initiatives, which connect them with nutritious food options, clothing, housing assistance, and transportation solutions. We also provide specialized nutritional supplements through our referral partnership with the BMC Food Pantry, ensuring children receive the dietary support they require. Additionally, we offer home health education, brief psychiatric consultations, and transportation assistance for fragile patients, all while fostering an environment of care and compassion to help families thrive.
