Pathways Health Centre for Children

“Coming to Pathways has helped me to get more involved in sports and allowed me to meet a lot of cool friends. It has also helped me do better in my academics. Before I started school, people didn’t understand what I was saying. The people at Pathways helped me with my speech. I really look forward to coming to Pathways to see my friends.”
