What is a School-Based Health Center?

A School-Based Heath Center (SBHC) is similar to a doctor’s office setting, but inside the school. The SBHC offers an integrated team-based care approach centered on whole person wellness with medical, dental, behavioral health, and referral services to ensure each child’s needs are met. The SBHC is staffed with a nurse practitioner, behavioral health provider and dental staff during school hours throughout the school year. The SBHC provides an easy way for children to get healthcare who may not have access to any, and a convenient option for parents to get their child checked without having to leave work. These services are offered through The HealthCare Connection in partnership with Mt. Healthy City Schools.
