School Health Program

MVHC offers a School Health Program centered on providing affordable, age-appropriate, confidential, and convenient comprehensive primary care services, including pediatric and adolescent care, to students and the surrounding community. 

 

MVHC’s School Health Program offers two unique programs for schools: School-Linked Health Centers and School-Based Health Centers. School-Linked Health Centers utilize existing MVHC facilities to see students and staff. District officials transport students to our facility for care, wait at the location with students, and return the students to the school after their appointments. MVHC has constructed the pediatric/adolescent area with special protection considerations (a secure waiting room and treatment rooms) to ensure your child is always safe. School-Based Health Centers utilize space designated by school districts to provide care on a specified schedule.

 

MVHC providers treat illness, as well as provide preventative care and well-child services. If your child is at school and becomes ill, the school nurse will evaluate the symptoms and determine if they warrant treatment that same day. The school nurse will notify the parent/guardian and seek appropriate care for your child with the MVHC medical team. MVHC partners with Northside Pharmacy (where possible) for prescription delivery for your family’s convenience.
