Grow Clinic

The Grow Clinic for Children, located in Medford, MA, is a dedicated outpatient clinic within Boston Medical Center that addresses the critical needs of children facing Failure To Thrive (FTT). We offer a range of essential services including comprehensive medical assessments, nutritional counseling, developmental evaluations, and social work support tailored specifically for families in the Greater Boston area. Our commitment goes beyond healthcare; we actively advocate for policies aimed at reducing child hunger and health disparities. The Grow Clinic also facilitates access to emergency food resources, including referrals to our BMC Food Pantry for specialized nutritional supplements, ensuring that children receive the nourishment they need. In addition, we provide home health education, assisted transportation for fragile patients, and opportunities for camperships when funding allows. Our outreach efforts extend to families in various settings such as daycare and schools, connecting them with vital resources like nutritious food, clothing, and stable housing. Together, we strive to create a nurturing environment that supports optimal growth and development for every child we serve.
