Well Child Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with an office inside the Steuben County Community Center in Angola. They provide preventative health care screenings for children from newborn through 18 years old. The organization was established in 1975 after the state health department contacted Joyce Gutstein about the need for a children’s health clinic.

Today, Well Child Clinic provides dental, vision, and physical screenings at no cost to families of Steuben County. With a team of 15 generous volunteer medical professionals, they ensure that families who can’t afford to access preventative care have a place to go for assistance. In some cases, Well Child Clinic will refer children to local dentists, optometrists, or clinics for follow-ups if required. They use donations and grant funding to help families pay for the additional medical services. Well Child Clinic also does labwork and provides sports physicals for students. Well Child Clinic currently services somewhere around 185 exams per year.
