Pediatrics - Adolescent Center

Located in Gloucester, MA, the Pediatrics - Adolescent Center is dedicated to providing comprehensive primary care services for young people aged 13 to 21. We empower our patients to select their own doctor or nurse practitioner, fostering a supportive 'medical home' environment that prioritizes their individual health needs throughout their adolescent years. Understanding that this age group faces unique health challenges, we offer a diverse array of medical and confidential counseling services, including nutrition counseling, prenatal care, and social services addressing housing, benefits, school needs, and family issues. Our commitment extends to routine healthcare maintenance, sports and employment physicals, as well as specialized care in areas such as gynecology, endocrinology, surgery, allergy, cardiology, and neurology. Beyond treating medical symptoms, the Adolescent Center is a vital resource for addressing broader issues affecting our patients, including home and school challenges, safety concerns, and basic necessities like food and warmth. We also connect young people with job training programs and resources for young mothers, ensuring they have access to valuable college information. By looking beyond traditional healthcare, we strive to equip our patients with the tools they need for healthy, productive lives.
