For clients 17 and under, general healthcare requires a parent or guardian’s signature. This includes vaccines, wellness physicals, asthma or sport physicals. Reproductive healthcare (STI screening, birth control, etc.) is confidential, even when the patient is under 18 in compliance with Minnesota State law. Clients 16 and older may consent to mental health services without a parent or guardian.
