myHealth's MISSION: To improve the health of our community by providing health services and information that support teens and young adults in making responsible and well-informed decisions. myHealth's VISION: One day all young people are educated & empowered to make responsible decisions regarding their health and relationships. Our History: myHealth began when a group of local health care providers, school professionals, law enforcement, church officials, and high school students came together to address the increase in unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among the our community. In 1972 West Suburban Teen Clinic opened its clinic with one full-time nurse, 125 volunteer nurses, 30 volunteer lab technicians and 20 volunteer physicians. Over the years we expanded our services to include Mental Health and Educational Programs. We partners with school districts and community organizations to meet the growing needs of young people and their families in the areas we serve. Our Values We are committed to the mental, physical and overall health of teens and young adults. We respect and understand teens and young adults; our programs and services reflect their needs. We include parents and families when serving teens and young adults whenever possible. We provide confidentiality for our clients as permitted by law. Who We Serve We serve uninsured and low-income youth, including pregnant and parenting teens, between the ages of 12-23 for clinical services and 12-26 for mental health services, in Hennepin, Carver and Scott counties. Nearly 100% of our clients fall at or below 250% of the national poverty guidelines. Our services are offered to uninsured clients on a sliding fee scale. No one is ever turned away for service due to their inability to pay. In 2014, myHealth provided nearly $1.0 million in uncompensated care to young people and their families.
