COVID-19 tests
COVID-19 testing is an option at any of our nine Children’s Minnesota primary care clinics for all children – with or without symptoms. An appointment with a provider is required. Availability for COVID-19 testing, and the time it takes to get results, may vary. Call your preferred clinic to schedule. Walk-in COVID-19 testing (with a provider visit) is available at select clinics.
If you are looking for testing without a visit with a provider, there are many options available – you can visit your local retail pharmacy or find a local COVID-19 testing site through the Minnesota Department of Health.

Helping parents manage common child behaviors
From tantrums and anxiety to sibling conflict, Behavior Checker® is a helpful online parenting tool that gives you healthy ways to solve common behaviors.
Preventing and treating pain
We do everything possible to take the fear and discomfort out of needle procedures. Our Children’s Comfort Promise includes four steps that make needles less scary for kids of all ages.
Giving little ones the strongest start possible
Did you know 80 percent of a child’s brain is developed before the age of 3? We’ve teamed up with the Little Moments Count program to offer tools like parent-powered texts with tips and activities customized for your child’s specific age.
Encouraging an early love of reading
Children’s Minnesota participates in the national Reach Out and Read® program, which enables our clinics to provide kids with a free, age-appropriate book at every well-child check-up from six months through five years. Gigi Chawla, MD, of Children’s Minnesota, is the medical director for Reach Out and Read Minnesota.
