SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTERS

The Wolves Wellness Center is the first school-based health center in Merced County. This partnership between Merced Union High School District and Livingston Community Health has resulted in a fully integrated clinic offering medical, dental, and behavioral health. 

 

School-based health centers (SBHC's) are uniquely situated to bring health care professionals and educators together to address the multifaceted needs of children, youth and families. They provide a safe place for students and family members to talk about challenging issues (depression, behavior problems, academic performance, substance abuse, sexuality or relationships, etc.). Their unique value is that they can connect medical and mental health services to classroom health education, group interventions, and other campus projects, clubs or activities.

 

Services are provided at no or low cost to clients. No one is refused service for inability to pay.
