Foster Health Care Program at South Main Clinic

Changing Lives…one child at a time.

Youth will receive care by medical providers experienced with the needs of children in foster care including:

• Health and well child care: mandated well-child evaluation and education;
• Care for children or teens when ill or needing medical follow-up;
• Gynecological and reproductive care for teens; and
• Care coordination with case workers, mental health professionals, and other specialists as needed.

Who Is Eligible?

Children 0-21 years of age residing in shelter, kinship, foster care, or other out-of-home placements and those that do not have a primary health care provider are eligible.

We provider a medical home for youth in Department of Child and Family Services custody to:

• Improve outcomes for youth within a system of care familiar with the complex medical emotional, and social needs of these children,
• Provide continuity of health care, and
• Facilitate coordination of care.
