About This Location
Located on the shared campus of North Mason High School and Hawkins Elementary, the North Mason SBHC is dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of students from multiple schools. In addition to providing care for high school and elementary students, the clinic extends its services to students from the district's alternative school, ensuring no student is left without access to quality healthcare. With a broad range of medical and behavioral health services available on-site, this SBHC reduces common barriers like transportation and scheduling conflicts, allowing students to focus on their education while receiving the care they need in a familiar and supportive environment.
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.
