At the Ybor Youth Clinic (YYC) our mission is to provide high quality, innovative, compassionate and nonjudgmental health care services to ALL youth (ages 13 to 24) in an environment tailored to meet their specific and unique needs.

Our Services

YYC services include: sexual/reproductive health care, including birth control; HIV and STI testing, treatment, prevention counseling, and referrals; referrals to specialized care for physical and emotional trauma including sexual assault, abuse, domestic violence and drug abuse; and linkage to other youth programs within the community.

Reaching Out

We are proud to be a unique health care facility, located in Ybor City, dedicated to addressing the specific needs of under served youth and young adults in our community. By working collaboratively with city and county governments, non-profit organizations, and a variety of health services providers and dedicated volunteers, we are working to create a welcoming entry point to Hillsborough County's health and wellness services for youth and young adults.

Community Partners
