Health Clinic

Did you know that we have a primary care clinic right here at school? The mission of the James M. Kieran School-Based Health Center with the Institute for Family Health is to increase access to both primary and specialty care, improve health literacy, and increase school community engagement. 

The clinic is open every school day and services are available to all students. At the School-based Health Center, students can receive services by licensed medical and mental health professionals at no cost to you, regardless of insurance status. The clinic bills insurance, however there are no co-pays for you and you will not receive a bill. 

  • Complete physical examinations Immunizations
  • Medications and prescriptions Health education and counseling
  • Medical laboratory tests Mental health counseling and services
  • Sick visits Screening for vision, hearing, asthma, obesity, and other medical conditions

Parents can complete a Parental Consent Form to register students for the School-based Health Center. This form can be picked up at the school's main office or from the clinic. Completed forms can be dropped off with the parent coordinator or brought directly to the clinic.

  2. All visitors (students, parents, guardians, and staff) of the health center should be respectful to each other and to health center staff.
