The Whitney Newborn Follow-up Clinic
The Whitney Clinic is also a part of California Pacific's Child Development Center. This is a weekly clinic for graduates of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, mandated by California Children's Services (CCS) to monitor the child's development. Patients are evaluated by a neonatologist/nurse practitioner and a developmental specialist, including one or more of the following: infant developmentalist, physical therapist, occupational therapist and, if indicated, a pediatric neurologist. A hearing test is also performed when indicated. A social worder is available to assist the parents with resources and provide support. Patients are seen three times during their first three years.
