At MHC Healthcare, our pediatric providers diagnose, evaluate, and treat health conditions at all stages of childhood from birth to 18 years of age. We offer sick and well-child visits, immunizations, asthma management, behavioral assessments, skincare treatment, and sports physicals. Congratulations to Oro Valley Pediatrics for becoming the first practice in Pima County to become an “Arizona Adolescent Champion Model”. The purpose of this model is to recognize that the teenage years are a critical stage of development during which foundations for healthy behaviors in adulthood are established. These foundations have long-term effects/results for a successful future and are changed and affected by a complex interaction of physical, emotional and social factors. Increasing the access to high-quality, youth-friendly care plays a vital role in giving the power to permit teen patients to establish lifelong healthy behaviors.
