Children’s Services

We offer coordinated primary medical and dental care for children and adolescents, and we are expanding our family behavioral health services.

Our children’s medical services include:

Care for Patients Under 18

For most medical and all dental visits, patients under 18 need a parent or legal guardian with them to consent to care. If a guardian can’t be there, we require written or verbal permission for the visit. There are some exceptions under Washington State law:

  • Age 14 and older can seek care for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV.
  • Age 13 and older can seek outpatient care for drug, alcohol, or mental health treatment.
  • Any age can consent to birth control.

These services are kept confidential. We will not share this information without the patient’s permission.

Sliding Fee Discount Program

Unity Care NW offers a Sliding Fee Discount Program to help keep care affordable for uninsured patients and those with high deductibles and co-pays. Eligibility for the Sliding Fee Discount Program is based on household size and income.

To apply for the Sliding Fee Discount Program, contact our Outreach and Enrollment staff at (360) 788-2669.

Reach Out and Read

We are proud to participate in Reach Out and Read. At each well-child checkup for children from infancy through age 5, our clinicians offer advice to caregivers about early relationships and literacy and give children a new book to take home to build their home libraries.

A Note to Parents

We will do everything possible to help your child have a positive experience during their visit. You can help too. Tell your child good things about coming to our health center and taking care of their health. Together, we can help your child build healthy habits for life.
