Adolescent Healthcare in St. George, Utah
Age-appropriate primary care that helps teens understand their health and begin taking part in decisions about it.
Supporting teens as they take a bigger role
The teenage years bring new health questions about growth, sleep, stress, activity, skin and more. Adolescent healthcare gives teens a place to ask those questions and get clear, respectful answers.
As teens get older, visits may give them more room to speak for themselves while parents stay involved. Building this habit can help teens feel ready to manage their own care as adults.
Care teen visits may include
Depending on your teen’s age and needs, care may include:
- Adolescent wellness exams
- Sick visits for common illnesses
- Sleep and nutrition discussions
- School and sports physicals
- Medication and chronic-condition follow-up
- Planning the move to adult primary care
Topics teens and parents may raise
- Changes in growth, puberty or energy
- Sleep, stress, mood or school pressures
- Sports, activity and staying healthy
- Skin, headaches or other recurring concerns
- Which preventive care or vaccines may be due
Preparing for a teen visit
It may help for your teen to write down a few questions in their own words before the visit. Parents can note any changes they have noticed.
If you have questions about how visits work, including who takes part in each part of the conversation, call the clinic and ask before the appointment.
Emotional health and urgent concerns
Teens can talk about mood, stress and anxiety as part of a primary care visit. More detail is on our behavioral health page.
If a teen is in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
For sports or school forms, see School & Sports Physicals.
