Grow Clinic

The Grow Clinic for Children, located in Mattapan, MA, is a vital outpatient specialty clinic affiliated with Boston Medical Center, dedicated to supporting children from the Greater Boston area who are facing Failure To Thrive (FTT). Our mission extends beyond clinical care; we offer a comprehensive range of services that include medical assessments, nutritional counseling, developmental evaluations, and social work support. We understand that health is influenced by various factors, so we also provide home health education and facilitate access to essential resources through our strong outreach program, which connects families to nutritious foods, clothing, and safe housing. Additionally, we offer specialized dietary assistance through referrals to the BMC Food Pantry, ensuring that no child goes without proper nutrition. Our advocacy efforts aim to reduce the number of children in need, while our innovative services, such as brief consultations with child psychiatry and transportation assistance, exemplify our commitment to each child's well-being. Together, we work to create a brighter future for children and families in our community.
