Adolescent Health Program

Southern Seven Health Department's Southern Illinois Adolescent Health Program aims to empower adolescents, ages 11-21, to adopt healthy behaviors and improve their overall health by increasing the rate of adolescent well-care visits. For the purposes of this program, a well-care visit is defined as a comprehensive visit with a health provider, occurring at least once a year, in which a physical, emotional, and social development is assessed in alignment with the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures Guidelines. The program is funded in whole or in part by by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
