After the trauma, loss and fear young people have endured during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to make sure that health services are easy to access. It is also important that young people catch up on their health needs, like vaccinations and routine checkups that may have been delayed due to the pandemic.
School-based health center (SBHC) teams partner with school nurses, teachers and staff to provide safe, appropriate, culturally-sensitive health care to youth where they already spend much of their time—at school. These health centers are full-service clinics staffed by health professionals that provide medical, mental health and dental services to help young people cope, grow and thrive. Together, health centers and schools help improve students’ health and their ability to succeed in school and beyond.
Health services at SBHCs include:
* Check with your school-based health center to see what services are available.
Register at a school-based health center
SBHCs are located at elementary, middle and high schools throughout Seattle and Vashon Island – find a health center in your neighborhood and register your student for services. Health center services and appointments are available to all students in Seattle Public Schools and to all students in public and private schools on Vashon. Services at SBHCs are no cost to any Seattle Public School student, regardless of insurance status.
All Neighborcare school health centers opened to in-person care for students as of September 1. Medical, dental and mental health services are available by appointment at the health center or over the phone. Register for services at a Neighborcare SBHC. To make an appointment, please call your school-based health center or email SBHC@neighborcare.org.
Funding for the health centers is partially supported by the Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise Levy of the City of Seattle and the Best Starts for Kids investment of King County.
