A Bilingual and Bicultural Pediatric Clinic
In the summer of 2002, the first pediatric bilingual clinic in southwestern Pennsylvania was created at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Since its creation, this clinic has expanded to become the program Salud Para Niños or "Health for the Children".
At Salud Para Niños, culturally and linguistically competent primary care for children and families is complemented with activities oriented toward prevention and towards empowering the community about its own health.
