Anacostia: Current Patients

Your child’s pediatrician offers preventive care, treats illnesses and cares for minor injuries.

As part of primary care “plus” at Children’s Health Centers, we also provide specialty care for certain conditions, including behavioral health, asthma and obesity management. If your child needs additional services for a complex or chronic condition, we’ll connect you to specialists and coordinate those services. We work with specialists experienced in treating conditions related to nutrition, heart care, diabetes, behavior, gastroenterology, gynecology and more. The Children’s Health Centers primary care team is here for you and your family.

Scheduling routine and urgent sick visits is easy and we always do our best to accommodate busy schedules and your preferences. Depending on the urgency of the appointment, we make every effort to meet your needs within 24 to 48 hours.

If your child is sick, he or she is welcome at any of our health centers around the city – wherever is most convenient for you.
