Public Health Teen Clinics are safe, friendly, confidential places for teens to get the help they need and learn the facts.

Services offered

All services at Public Health Teen Clinics are free or low cost. Guys and girls up to their 21st birthday are welcome at Teen Clinics. We welcome straight, gay, lesbian, bi, trans, queer, and questioning teens. We do not judge you based on who you have sex with.

Confidentiality

Is my visit confidential?

In Washington state, birth control and pregnancy testing are confidential. This means that you don't need written permission from your parent or guardian to get services like birth control or pregnancy tests. It also means we will not tell anyone about your visit unless you ask us to.

For STD testing and treatment, teens who are 14 and older may access services without getting permission from a parent or guardian. We will not tell anyone about your visit unless you ask us to.

We always encourage teens to talk with a parent or trusted adult about their care with us. However, it is ultimately the teen's decision who to involve.

If you have questions, please drop by or give us a call.


¿Es mi visita confidencial?

En el estado de Washington, todos los servicios de cuidado de salud que se ofrecen en las clínicas de planificación familiar son confidenciales. Esto significa que usted no necesita un permiso escrito de sus padres o tutores para recibir servicios tales como métodos anticonceptivos, exámenes anuales, pruebas de enfermedades transmitidas sexualmente y pruebas de embarazo. También significa que no le brindaremos información a nadie sobre su visita a menos que usted nos pida hacerlo.

Siempre les pedimos a los adolescentes que hablen con su padre/madre o con una persona adulta de confianza acerca de su cuidado con nosotros. Sin embargo, es finalmente el adolescente quien decide a que persona desea involucrar.
