BACKGROUND
Background
The JustTEENS clinic was opened in 2015 as part of the Healthy Tomorrow Alliance under the Cone Health Foundation. JustTEENs clinic is dedicated to providing services to young adult males and females for sport/schools physicals, immunizations, and behavioral health screenings. Teens are also provided long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) methods to reduce teen pregnancy rates in Guilford County. Providing services directly to the teens in an age focused environment helps educate young adults on making good choice and preventing unintended consequences. The Cone Health Foundation has continued to fund this initiative for the past eight years and has awarded funds to this program again for fiscal year 2024.
