    Purpose: Between Us is a system-wide intervention at the Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), a safety net healthcare network providing care for low-income, uninsured, and vulnerable populations in the Hennepin County in Minnesota. Between Us promotes confidential youth services and parent education (http://www.betweenushealth.com/). Funded through a Family Planning Special Project of the Minnesota Department of Health and a Title X Family Planning grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Between Us has developed confidential clinical encounters in the electronic health record (EPIC) and funds sexual health services for adolescents and young adults, including clinical visits, laboratory testing, prescriptions, and procedures. Between Us began training professionals providing clinical care for adolescents and young adults at the HCMC in 2013 and begun funding sexual health services in 2014. This study reports the first evaluation of the Between Us intervention in the complete HCMC network and describes the population served, providers engaged with the program, and services delivered.
