Grant Spotlight
According to Keysha Walker Taylor, Board Chair of AACF, “I was introduced to Teen Health Connection as an alternative to continuing with our pediatrician (who had been excellent before my daughter’s preteen years). The staff at Teen Health Connection is friendly and professional, and the physicians are skilled at engaging with teen patients on their level. With all the challenges teens are faced with in today’s society, I felt it was important to support an organization that is focused on internal health, emotional wellness and leadership development.”
