Baylor Teen Health Clinic

Baylor College of Medicine Teen Health Clinic, commonly referred to as ''Baylor Teen Health Clinic,'' is a network of nine clinics located in Houston, Texas. Established in 1968, initially as a maternity program for teens, the Baylor Teen Health Clinic now offers comprehensive reproductive health and family planning care at free or low-cost to males and females ages 13–25.〔(Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Baylor College of Medicine) )〕 The clinic also provides general health counseling as well as prenatal care and postpartum training to teen-age boys and girls.〔Houston Chronicle: Teen Health Clinic ably carries the ball〕 Today the clinics welcome over 26,000 patient visits per year.〔
Primarily affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine, Baylor Teen Health clinic is a non-profit clinic and research institute. The mission of the clinic is to provide health care equal to or better in quality than the private sector; to offer comprehensive care to the underserved population; and to educate both professionals and young people within the community to prevent risky behavior practices.〔(Foundation for Teen Health )〕
==History==
The Baylor Teen Health Clinic traces its roots back to the Joyce Goldfarb Development Clinic, established in 1969 as a one-day per week maternity clinic located in the Jefferson Davis Hospital. Jefferson Davis Hospital was delivering over 10,000 babies per year,〔(Houston Chronicle Archives )〕 at a time when Texas had an infant mortality rate of over 20 deaths per 1,000 live births.〔(Texas Department of State Health Services )〕 When Dr. Goldfarb died unexpectedly in 1972, the clinic lost its Rockefeller Grant funding. Dr. Peggy Smith was hired with the intention to shut down the clinic, but she decided to revive the clinic in 1971 and shifted its focus to reproductive care, serving males and females ages 13–22.〔(History (Foundation for Teen Health) )〕 Dr. Smith has since established outreach clinics beyond the Texas Medical Center in community locations and high school campuses with low-income, uninsured, indigent populations. The Teen Health Clinics serve neighborhoods known for high rates of infant mortality, sexuality transmitted infections and teen pregnancy.〔
In 1990, the Foundation for Teen Health, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was established to support Baylor Teen Health Clinic. The objective of the Foundation for Teen Health is to garner funds from philanthropic donors and grants, and to increase community awareness of the clinics.〔
