About This Location
Located at Discovery Alternative School, the Madrona Heights SBHC provides comprehensive healthcare services to students across the entire South Kitsap School District. With a focus on both medical and behavioral health, this clinic supports students from various schools, ensuring they have access to quality care in a familiar and convenient setting. The SBHC is committed to addressing the diverse needs of the district's students, helping them maintain their health and well-being so they can succeed both in and out of the classroom.
School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are essential in providing accessible, comprehensive healthcare to students directly within schools. They help reduce barriers to care, such as transportation difficulties, lack of time, or financial constraints, by bringing health services to a place where students already spend much of their day. SBHCs improve overall student wellness, which in turn positively impacts academic performance, attendance, and behavior. By addressing both physical and mental health needs in a familiar environment, SBHCs help create healthier communities, fostering a supportive and preventive care system for youth.
