What makes the Kino Teen Center different from other clinics?This is your place! We offer services only to youth, ages 12-21. Our staff provides quality health care and other services for young people, and we are committed to help you take control of your own health by offering information and classes you may need in order to promote healthy development. You may attend alone or with a family member, guardian, partner, friend(s), and/or caretakers. The Kino Teen Center is part of the One-Stop System, and our center is located next door to other services that can help teens with many other concerns such as education, special training & job opportunities, and even internships and volunteering programs.

Are your services confidential?
Parental consent is required for general medical health services, but many of our more sensitive services are confidential and do not require parental consent (see Services). While we encourage you to talk with your parents or primary care givers, we understand that this is not always possible. Just remember, your personal information will not be given out without your permission. How do Teens pay for services?

We accept AHCCCS insurance, KidsCare, Pima Community Access Program (PCAP), and other insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance, our qualified staff can help you with insurance eligibility assistance. Otherwise, our services can be provided on a sliding scale, or other arrangements can be made.
