Grow Clinic

At the Grow Clinic for Children in Salem, MA, we are dedicated to supporting children facing challenges like Failure To Thrive (FTT) through a holistic approach that encompasses comprehensive medical, nutritional, developmental, and social services. As an outpatient subspecialty clinic associated with Boston Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics, our mission goes beyond treatment—we actively advocate for policies that help reduce the number of children in need. Our offerings include medical assessments and treatment, nutritional counseling, social worker evaluations, developmental appraisals, brief consultations with child psychiatry, home health education, and connections to resources like the BMC Food Pantry for specialized nutritional supplements. We also provide transportation assistance for select patients and camperships when funding allows. Our outreach efforts extend our services into the community, helping families access not just health care, but foundational resources such as nutritious food, clothing, and stable housing. Together, we strive to ensure that every child has the support they need to thrive.
