When appropriate, we will provide referrals to pediatric subspecialists at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Stanford Hospital, including: audiology (hearing), cardiology (heart), dermatology (skin), developmental pediatrics, ENT (ear nose and throat), gastroenterology (digestion), general surgery, infectious disease, neurology, ophthalmology (eye), and more.
We also offer referrals to community resources for food, housing, education, and transportation.
Dental
We prefer prevention over treatment,and encourage you to partner with us in teaching kids and youth to take excellent care of their teeth. We provide routine dental exams, teeth cleaning, and fillings, following the State of California guidelines for children and youth in foster care.
We also perform dental extractions and root canal therapy, as appropriate. For complex cases, we will provide referrals to dental specialists in the community, as appropriate.
We provide dental care to children and youth of all ages. It’s never too early to protect a child’s teeth and oral health.

We can provide bridge (interim) psychiatric services for children and youth while they are waiting to establish more permanent psychiatric care.
We can assist with the necessary paperwork to obtain court approval for psychiatric medications (Form JV 220), for children and youth in foster care.
Our providers can also refer non-foster care patients to community-based supports for necessary resources.
