The pediatric nurses can also help you choose a physician that fits the needs of your child as well as provide information about special resources available for children in your own community. PIRC nurses also welcome questions from grandparents, day care providers, teachers and others in the community who care for children. Translators are available. Teenage Health Resource Line Now teens can use their very own toll free telephone line to get immediate answers to health related questions.
All calls are confidential.
KidCall, a toll-free telephone service, is for children throughout the Bay Area who are home by themselves after school.
