Keeping Students Healthy, in School and Ready to Learn

SBWCs provide students with easy access to physical, behavioral, and preventive health services—right at school. This helps students stay in class and reduces the need for families to miss work.

Services are provided by trusted clinical partners, and families without a primary doctor can choose the Wellness Center as their child’s medical home.
