Pediatric & Adolescent Mental Health
Several years ago, Dr. Gail Schonfeld and the staff of East End Pediatrics at the East Hampton Healthcare Center developed a program to identify and treat youngsters and their families before the advent of crises. This program has been ongoing thanks to the generosity of individuals in our community and the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation. Located in Suite D at the Healthcare Center several days a week, youngsters and their families are seen by various mental health professionals. Please contact the offices of East End Pediatrics, at 631-324-8030, for further information.
