Healthy children and youth 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 adolescents to help them thrive.
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 lower-income communities.
By constantly monitoring the medical, dental, and mental health of children at the most important developmental stages of their lives, and by providing continuous care where they already are every day, Children’s Aid improves their chances of success.
With parental consent, our pediatricians, 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.
