Children and teens in foster care have a high prevalence of chronic medical, dental, mental health, developmental, and educational issues requiring that they receive more frequent and detailed health monitoring than other children and teens.
Healthy Foster Care America (HFCA) is a website created by the AAP Section on Foster Care and Adoption and its partners to improve the health and well-being outcomes of children and teens in foster care. It includes many resources for foster parents, case workers and health care providers of children in Foster Care.
Healthy Children.org is the only parenting website backed by 66,000 pediatricians committed to the attainment of optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescents, and young
