Child Health Specialty Clinics is a public health
program serving children with special health care needs
and their families. Specialty clinics are located in 13 areas around the
state of Iowa.
For over 50 years, these clinics have served children and youth (birth through age 21) who live in Iowa. They may have a chronic condition (physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional) or have increased risk for a chronic condition and have a need for special services.
Child Health Specialty Clinics also help families find and organize other
local services their children may need, including home care, family-to-family support, insurance
coverage, child care, and school health. Child Health Specialty Clinics work closely
with other state and local organizations that help families
and encourage family participation in the care of their
children.
