What We Do

Teen Age Medical Service, or TAMS, is the adolescent outpatient program of Children’s Hospitals and Clinics. Programs and services include general and acute medical care, reproductive health care, nutrition and mental health counseling, health education and outreach services, peer education, and eating disorders care. TAMS also operates a school-based clinic at Southwest High School in Minneapolis.

In addition to direct patient care, TAMS provide health education and promotion services to youth and families, peer education through TAMS Talk, and specialized training in adolescent health for residents and students. Several times a year the health education staff offer a Mother-Daughter series entitled “Just Between Us.” This series offers mothers and 9-12 year old daughters an opportunity to learn about puberty together and solidify their relationship in anticipation of adolescence. Staff at TAMS also actively participate in adolescent health advocacy, public policy development, and many collaborative projects around adolescent health care and adolescent health promotion throughout the metropolitan area.
