Huckleberry Youth Services at Cole Street Clinic (HYSCS), is located on Cole Street (at Haight) in San Francisco. Opened in SF's Haight Ashbury District in 1992, the clinic is a collaborative effort involving Huckleberry Youth Programs, the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the University of California at San Francisco's Division of Adolescent Medicine. The Clinic offers comprehensive, age-appropriate, culturally-sensitive adolescent health services to high-risk teens, with peer-education including HIV prevention education, peer-counseling, violence prevention/leadership groups, and community outreach serving as major components of the Clinic's programs. HYSCS has become recognized as a national model of adolescent health services, because it effectively addresses the primary health care issues of at-risk adolescents, while simultaneously attending to their complex psychosocial and health promotion needs.
