Neighborhood Health Celebrates Arlington Pediatric Center Ribbon Cutting

On November 10, Neighborhood Health welcomed community partners, supporters, and local leaders to a ribbon cutting and open house at the Arlington Pediatric Center. Guests toured the clinic and met the teams that provide pediatric primary care, dental care, vision care, and behavioral health services.

CEO, Dr. Baism Khan welcomed guests and thanked the partners who helped expand services at the center. Dr. Anita Zenzano, the center’s associate director, shared stories about the children and families the clinic serves. Arlington County Board members JD Spain, Susan Cunningham, and Matt de Ferranti joined the celebration.

Since the Arlington Pediatric Center joined Neighborhood Health in January 2024, the center has cared for 6,189 Arlington children, including 1,852 who received care at the center for the first time. The Delta Dental of Virginia Foundation helped equip the pediatric dental clinic, and the Virginia Health Care Foundation supported the addition of pediatric vision care.

Families can now bring their children to the same clinic for a checkup, a dental visit, or an eye exam. Neighborhood Health provides care regardless of a patient’s insurance status, background, or ability to pay.
