Pediatrics and Teen Care
Complete care for kids and teens—including mental health and school-based services.
Comprehensive care for kids and teens.
Venice Family Clinic ensures that children and teens receive the medical care and support they need to grow up healthy. In addition to primary medical care, we provide dental and vision services, mental health support, nutrition education and parenting resources to help families thrive. We offer free books for children in English and Spanish to encourage early reading and lifelong learning. We also bring care directly to students through our school-based clinics, making it easier for young people to get the health services they need without missing school.
