New Riverside Outpatient Clinics Expand Care
UVA Health Children’s has opened two new outpatient clinics at UVA Health Medical Park Riverside, expanding access to coordinated pediatric care for families across Central Virginia. Pediatrics and Specialty Care Riverside and Teen and Young Adult Care Riverside join the Children’s Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Health clinic that opened at the site in 2024.
These clinics are designed to support families who need access to care and provide easy referral paths for providers. Services include same-day visits for minor illnesses and injuries with on-site testing, expanded pediatric specialty care, and dedicated services for teens and young adults ages 13–26. Available care includes routine visits, mental health assessments, gynecologic care, and nutrition support, along with specialty services such as endocrinology, genetics, gastroenterology, pulmonology, and breastfeeding medicine.
Same-day and weekend care hours are available even to families who are not established UVA Health Children's patients.
