Grow Clinic

Located in Melrose, MA, the Grow Clinic for Children offers vital outpatient medical and nutritional care for children facing Failure to Thrive (FTT) within the Greater Boston area. As a part of Boston Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics, we provide a holistic approach to health that includes comprehensive medical assessment, nutritional counseling, and developmental support, all tailored to the unique needs of our young patients. Our dedicated team advocates for policies that help reduce childhood food insecurity and increase access to essential services. We also connect families to vital resources like the BMC Food Pantry, ensuring that nutrition is accessible regardless of insurance coverage. With additional services, including home health education, social work assessments, and developmental consultations, we strive to empower families. Our outreach program extends our support into daycares and schools, helping families gain access to nutritious foods, clothing, transportation, and housing essentials, reinforcing our commitment to the well-being of every child we serve.
