Mission Statement
Since 1972, myHealth has offered comprehensive, preventative and youth-focused Clinical Services. myHealth is unique in the variety of adolescent-focused services offered under one roof, including medical care, outreach and education, mental health, and youth development. Services are offered through three main programs: Clinical services, Community Education, and Becoming-our program for pregnant and parenting young teens. myHealth is the only provider of subsidized, confidential adolescent-focused physical and mental health care in an area larger than 1,200 square miles.
About This Cause
myHealth for Teens & Young Adults is a 501c3 non-profit organization that began in 1971 when a group of local health care providers, school professionals, law enforcement, church officials, and high school students came together to address the increase in unplanned pregnancies and the emergence of sexually transmitted infections among the youth population in the Excelsior area. In February of 1972, West Suburban Teen Clinic opened its first clinic with one full-time nurse, a Board of Directors, 125 volunteer nurses, 30 volunteer lab technicians and 20 volunteer physicians. Over the years we have expanded our services beyond the medical clinic to include Mental Health services and Educational Programs. myHealth partners with school districts, community organizations and coalitions to meet the growing needs of young people and their families in the areas we serve. In 2012, we changed our name to myHealth for Teens & Young Adults to reflect these changes.
