School Based Health Centers (SBHC)
-
MCR Health, in partnership with the School District of Manatee County, is offering on-site medical care services to students who have parental consent.
A school-based health center is a shared commitment between a community's schools and health care organizations to support students' health, well-being, and academic success by providing preventative, early intervention, and treatment services where students are - which is at school.
Students can be treated for acute illnesses, such as flu, and chronic conditions, including asthma and diabetes. They can also be screened for dental, vision and hearing problems. With an emphasis on prevention, early intervention and risk reduction, school-based health centers counsel students on healthy habits and how to prevent injury, violence and other threats.
The existing school clinic staff will continue to manage the day-to-day oversight of school health. The School Based Health Center will complement the school clinic by being available to all students, including those without health care, and those in need of services such as primary, mental, oral or vision care. Even if your child already has a primary care doctor, he/she can still benefit from our health services should a problem arise in school.The following schools are participating in the on-site program:
- Manatee Elementary Community Partnership School Based Health Center
- Daughtrey Elementary Community Partnership School Based Health Center
- MCR Southeast High School Based Health Center
