Children whose health care needs are met are better prepared for academic success. Our school-based centers offer a proactive approach to keeping kids healthy and producing better school attendance.
Serving more than 4,000 students annually, Children’s Aid’s school-based health centers provide comprehensive and continuous services at no cost to children and their families.
Comprehensive and continuous
For many kids, Children's Aid’s school-based health centers are their first and only access to health care.
Our philosophy at Children’s Aid is to address the needs of the whole child, and school-based health centers are considered by experts to be the most effective way to provide preventive care — especially in under-resourced communities.
By providing for the medical, dental, and mental health care of children at the most important developmental stages of their lives, and by providing that care in a convenient location where they are every day, Children’s Aid improves their chances of success.
With parental consent, our doctors, nurse practitioners, and trained health professionals work in collaboration with a family’s primary care physician to provide the high-quality health care that all children deserve and that their parents expect in a world-class city.
We also provide confidential reproductive health care to adolescents at certain locations, as appropriate.
