Children's Clinic

TOUCHING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN
ONE CHILD AT A TIME.

---------- Our Services ----------

Children's Clinic services are designed to provide individual medical care to each child, as well as teach, encourage, assist, and support families in becoming better care providers. Our services include the following areas.

Initial Contact
Experienced registered nurses handle initial patient telephone contact, giving parents and other concerned parties friendly assurance while assessing each other, offering advice, or scheduling appointments.

Newborn Infants
A priority at the clinic, newborn infants from the Poudre Valley Hospital Prenatal Program receive postnatal exams and early parental guidance.

Acute Care
Emergency care, laboratory work, and treatment are provided by the clinic, often at no cost to the patient.

Chronic Care
Patients with chronic medical conditions receive long-term care when necessary.

Community Health and Immunization Program
The clinic takes contagious diseases seriously and provides immunizations designed to protect not only the children, but also the community.

Social Work
Patient care is often compromised by multiple social problems within the family. Staff social workers confer with medical practitioners, families, patients, and various community agencies to provide parental options in the management of a child's health and general wellbeing. The social workers operate from a "family systems" approach and believe strongly in prevention and education when dealing with the social issues that impact medical care.

Dispensary
Local pharmacists donate their time to prepare standard prescriptions that are then dispensed to patients by clinic doctors either at no charge or for a nominal fee. Many of the medicines are donated or provided at a greatly reduced cost by local pharmacies or national pharmaceutical companies.
