Abused and neglected youth have higher than average physical needs, and traditional medical systems are often too complicated for youth to access. Clients of Youth Services receive treatment from doctors who take great care to help them feel comfortable and trusting. Medical Exam Night helps youth take the first step toward more complete medical care.
