Care for teens
We know that your teenage years can be a period of change and self-discovery. At Esperanza, our goal is to give you all the medical and behavioral healthcare services you need as you navigate this stage in your life. Our services for teens include:
- Primary care well visits
- School physicals
- Sports physicals
- Routine screenings including hearing, vision, anemia and depression
- Sick visits
- Immunizations
- Lab tests, including testing for tuberculosis
- Chronic disease management and counseling for conditions, such as asthma, overweight/obesity, and autism
- Sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing and treatment
Confidential visits
The state of Illinois lets you make your own appointments for confidential services if you are 12 years or older. That means you don’t need permission from your parents or guardians to see a medical provider for the following reasons:
- Contraception – birth control and condoms
- Pregnancy testing and prenatal care
- Sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing and treatment
- HIV testing and treatment
- Mental/behavioral healthcare
- Alcohol or other substance use
Depending on the visit, these may be in person or via telehealth.
