Grow Clinic

At the Grow Clinic in Somerville, MA, we are dedicated to supporting children facing challenges like Failure To Thrive (FTT) through a comprehensive approach that blends medical, nutritional, developmental, and social services. As a part of Boston Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics, our outpatient clinic provides essential medical assessments, nutritional counseling, and developmental evaluations, along with tailored dietary assistance. We understand the importance of the whole family’s well-being, so our team also connects families with vital resources, such as the BMC Food Pantry for specialized nutritional supplements and our advocacy efforts aimed at reducing the number of children in need. Our commitment extends into the community through home health education and outreach programs that ensure families gain access to nutritious food, clothing, suitable housing, and transportation. We also offer brief consultations with child psychiatry and transportation assistance for selected fragile patients, emphasizing our holistic approach to children’s health and family support in the Greater Boston area.
