About our programs
在波士顿儿童初级保健玛莎Eliot, we focus on the whole child and the whole family. Some of the other services we offer include:
- OurAsthma Education Programteam helps children with asthma live normal, healthy lives. Talk to your doctor, or one of our nurses, to find out if a visit with the Asthma Education nurse practitioner would be a good idea for your child.
- TheAdvocating Success for Kids (ASK) programis a multidisciplinary team that evaluates and assists children who have special education needs. Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health) is an arm of the ASK program dedicated to promoting social-emotional wellness in preschool-aged children.
- The Rapid Assessment of Skin Health (RASH) clinic at Martha Eliot is a clinic embedded within primary care designed to provide an enhanced level of care for patients with dermatologic conditions. Staffed by two pediatricians with training in dermatology, we see patients with a variety of skin conditions including eczema, acne, and skin infections. We can help with diagnosis or ongoing management, and may see you for one visit or over a more extended period of time. We have daytime and evening hours available. Your child must be a patient at Martha Eliot primary care to attend the RASH clinic.

- Health isn't only physical — mental health is just as important. We offer behavioral health services such as counseling for our patients, and can also help refer you to counseling and other services in your community. If you are interested in this, talk to your doctor or ask to speak to one of our social work staff.
- All young children need car safety seats — but not all families can easily afford them, or know how to use them. That’s why we offer car safety seats and trainings for families. Talk to one of our staff if you are interested.
