School-Based Health Center
Region 9 School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) provide physical and behavioral healthcare and promote health awareness for students in the Region 9 member schools. The SBHC offers students medical attention when they need it, catching problems like asthma and depression now, preventing bigger problems later. Most importantly, they keep students healthy and in class so they can learn what they need to know to succeed in life. The SBHC is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of providers including nurse practitioners, behavioral health counselors, social workers, alcohol and drug counselors, and other health professionals. These comprehensive, accessible and high-quality services add measurable value to the health of students.
