Vaccinations (immunizations)

Vaccinations are injections or nasal sprays containing substances that stimulate your teenager’s body to produce antibodies, reducing their risk of getting sick or having severe symptoms.

Lab testing

Onsite lab testing at Rahma Health analyzes urine, stool, blood, saliva, and biopsied or swabbed tissues to look for signs of potential health problems.

Medically supervised weight management

Your child’s Rahma Health provider helps them move toward or maintain an ideal body weight, reducing the risk of high blood pressure, low self-esteem, fatigue, and chronic diseases.

Anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns are common among teenagers. Rahma Health offers medication management, lifestyle change coaching, other treatments, and specialist referrals to help your teenager overcome mental health challenges safely and effectively.
