Adolescent Medicine

Beaumont Children’s Hospital’s Adolescent Health Center staff, including board-certified adolescent medicine specialists, address the specific needs of teenagers and their families, reinforcing communication between teens and their parents while empowering teens to become responsible for their own health. Detroit Hour Magazine has repeatedly rated our physicians as Top Docs, qualified to meet the unique needs of young people and their families. The Beaumont Adolescent Health Center established the The Hough Center for Eating Disorders with a generous grant from the Hough family to address the specific needs of teens with eating disorders.

The teen years are a time of physical, emotional, and social experiences that can be both rewarding and difficult for teenagers and their families. Adolescent health care needs are different from those of younger children. While adolescents don’t get sick as often as younger children, regular age-appropriate health care and guidance through psychosocial issues are key to establishing healthy behaviors that will carry into adulthood. The Beaumont Adolescent Health Center provides outpatient evaluation and care that addresses:

• Acne
• Contraception
• Depression and anxiety disorders
• Eating disorders
• General health concerns
• Growth and puberty concerns
• Headaches
• Immunizations
• Menstrual concerns
• Nutritional concerns
• Parent-adolescent conflict
• Recurrent abdominal pain
• Sexually transmitted infections

Whatever the health concern, whether routine or chronic, young people receive the sensitive and personal medical care they deserve at Beaumont Children’s Hospital.
