Taos Clinic for Children & Youth - Local Pediatric Care The Health Care Corner - Brought to you by Holy Cross Medical Center Taos Clinic for Children and Youth (TCCY) provides a wide range of pediatric medical services to infants, children and young adults. TCCY is staffed by a team of experienced board-certified pediatricians and nurse practitioners. The TCCY team is dedicated to providing the highest quality care to the children of our community. TCCY offers a variety of pediatric services, including well-child visits, sick visits, immunizations, sports physicals, and more. They also provide specialized care for children with chronic illnesses, developmental delays, and conditions requiring complex care. While it's always beneficial to schedule your pediatric visit ahead of time, sometimes that's not always an option. To help better support families in our community, TCCY offers same-day appointments so that parents can get rapid medical support for their children. Summer is right around the corner and it's a great time for pediatric well visits, allowing parents and providers to address any health concerns before the start of the next school year. Well visits are an important part of pediatric care, giving providers a chance to monitor a child's growth and development, screen for potential health issues, and provide preventative care. When longtime local pediatrician, Dr. Sylvia Villarreal retired in 2022, Holy Cross Medical Center acquired Paid Advertisement Taos Clinic for Children and Youth. The close proximity of TCCY to Holy Cross Hospital as well as the new ownership structure allows for seamless care between Holy Cross Hospital and the pediatric clinic. The pediatric doctors at TCCY also provide pediatric support for Holy Cross Hospital.
