As a trusted community clinic, Friends of Family Health Center has partnered with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to expand support and additional services to families with children ages 0 to 5.

Our community clinics have the opportunity to work with HRSA to incorporate early childhood development into our pediatric program. Early childhood development expands and enhances the services that our pediatric families receive during and after well-child visits.

The integration of early childhood development expertise into our pediatric program will provide families with access to our dedicated care team, education, and support. By connecting with our care team, families will be able to identify, develop, and track their child’s growth and overall well-being at each well-child visit.

  • Link children and their families to our dedicated care team with early childhood development expertise
  • Identify, discuss, and work with families to address individual and familial needs including access to appropriate follow-up services and community resources

Comprehensive Well-Child Visits

Friends of Family Health Center has woven together screening tools, identifiable milestones from “Learn the Signs. Act Early”, and behavioral well-being support in an easy to understand program that complies with the American Board of Pediatrics schedule of well-child visits. Supporting whole care at well-child visits includes screening for maternal well-being, child development, family needs, and behavioral well-being.

Maternal well-being

During the baby’s first 6 months of age, mother’s may experience “baby blues” and our team is here to support maternal well-being.


Child Development

At each stage, children will reach different milestones. Your care team will help you identify developmental milestones and track your child’s healthy growth.
