What is a School-Based Health Center?
A School-Based Health Center (SBHC) brings healthcare right into schools. With services offered by licensed providers, SBHCs offer high-quality care for every student, much like your local pediatrician or community health center, where students spend most of their time – in school.
Why are School-Based Health Centers Important?
The equation is simple – healthy students learn better. School-based health centers help parents by getting their children help sooner, reducing transportation barriers, and working with families to get the care their children need.
What Services Do They Offer?
Regular check-ups and care when students are sick
Support for ongoing health conditions like asthma or diabetes
Behavioral health counseling for stress, anxiety, or other challenges
Oral and vision care
Search for your local school-based health center
We encourage you to contact your local school‑based health center to learn whom they serve (e.g., only students at their school, any student in the district, etc.) and what services they offer.
