Overview
UVA Health Teen and Young Adult Care Riverside focuses on general health, mental and emotional wellbeing, and helping teens navigate the unique challenges of school, home, and relationships. We provider primary care for patients ages 13-25. Our clinic offers guidance and resources to help young people talk with trusted adults about their health and personal concerns.
Yearly checkups are encouraged so providers can support long-term health and catch issues early. Teens can attend appointments with or without a guardian as the clinic aims to respect privacy while also encouraging involvement of supportive adults. Virginia law outlines situations where a teen may consent to certain healthcare services independently.
Our clinic has a strong commitment to non-discrimination, inclusion, and respectful care for all patients. Parents or guardians are encouraged to be involved and use the clinic as a resource for support and advice.
