School-Based Health Centers
Our School-Based Health Centers provide comprehensive medical and mental health care, treatment and health education, to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Christina School District offers expanded health services through the District’s partnership with Christiana Care Health Services and Nemours at select schools. The School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) help students overcome many obstacles to receiving good health care - obstacles such as lack of transportation, inconvenient appointment times, or worries about cost and confidentiality.
What is a School-Based Health Center
A school-based health center (SBHC) is a medical office located inside your child's school. Nurse practitioners and behavioral health therapists offer well-child visits, sick visits, vaccinations, and mental health care to students. Your child can get free, high-quality care, that's safe and convenient.
