Every Child Pediatrics provides wrap-around health care to every child living at Samaritan House, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. Their team includes a certified pediatrician, advanced care practitioner, and medical assistant and fulfills primary care needs for all children from newborns to teenagers. These services include a wide variety of medical care such as annual checkups, sports physicals, common illness relief, and vaccinations. The Samaritan House Wellness Consultant team provides patients with mental and behavioral health services in a primary care setting.
One of the families utilizing the clinic is new to Colorado. It came as a relief to the parents when they learned that they wouldn’t have to worry about finding health care for their two boys and newborn baby. During their first appointment at Every Child Pediatrics at Samaritan House, they were able to get their children vaccinated, and the team identified a developmental delay for their oldest son and started the process of getting him the extra care he needs.
“Everyone at the Samaritan House has been very helpful in caring for my boys. I am so appreciative for all you have done for us, and I am glad my boys have great doctors that really care,” the mom of the family shared.
Combined with case management, Samaritan House is working with the family to transition into housing soon and they are excited to have all three children continue care with Every Child Pediatrics in the community.
After a family finds permanent housing when they leave Samaritan House, they will be eligible to continue integrated pediatric services at other Every Child Pediatrics sites. Every Child Pediatrics offers high-quality, comprehensive health care to over 24,000 children across Colorado with providers specializing in managing health care needs for families who come from complex life circumstances.
