What is a school-based health center?
A school-based health center (SBHC) provides a variety of health care services to students, staff and community members in a convenient and accessible school-based environment.
The SBHC model of health care is comprised of on-site health care delivery by an interdisciplinary team of health professionals, which can include primary, dental and mental health care clinicians.
Research has demonstrated the SBHC model of delivering on-campus care such as immunizations, managing chronic illnesses, and providing regular preventive care has positive impacts on student academic performance. The SBHCs are a great asset for the health of the surrounding communities as well.
Our SBHC are partnerships with local health care providers, Ritchie Regional Health Center and Coplin Health Systems.
Parents/ guardians must sign a consent form in order for students to utilize the SBHC.
