The Child Health Specialty Clinics program is a public health program providing
services to Children with Special Health Care Needs throughout the state.
Practicing Iowa physicians refer children and youth to regional clinics
located in their areas for diagnostic evaluations, care coordination and
other enabling services. Faculty of the departments of Pediatrics, Orthopaedics,
and Otolaryngology, as well as resident physicians, examine children at
diagnostic CHSC clinics throughout the state of Iowa. Children may also
be evaluated by psychologists, speech and hearing consultants, physical
therapists, and patient service consultants. The clinics provide follow-up
services for children with cystic-fibrosis, cardiac problems, genetically
determined muscle disorders, and other clinical problems.
