At Children’s Health Centers, we offer high-quality, accessible and compassionate pediatric primary and specialty services for children from birth to young adulthood.
We also work to improve the lives of our community’s youth by providing care where they need it most.
Children’s Health Centers work with community partners to help build healthy neighborhoods. Through outreach programs and advocacy, we can identify specific community needs and continue to serve our youth in critical health areas such as asthma, mental health, substance use, obesity and sexual health.
Our Centers are the largest providers of pediatric primary care services in Washington, D.C. We are proud to offer community-focused, culturally competent care. We work to build healthy communities by delivering care through our health centers, clinics and mobile health services.
All Children’s Health Center sites in Washington, D.C., have received National Committee for Quality Assurance Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition. We are proud of this recognition as it demonstrates our commitment to patient-centered, coordinated care for our community.
All nursing practice is based on the legal scope of practice, national and specialty nursing standards, Children's National Policies and Procedures, and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. The Professional Model of Care requires registered professional nurses to be responsible and accountable for their own practice. Children's National supports the development of RN relationships within the community; specifically those relationships associated with the health and well being of the community at large.
