About This Location
The SBHC at Olympic High School provides medical and behavioral health services to high school students and their families on-site, promoting easy access to care. By offering these services within the school, the clinic helps students stay healthy and focused on achieving their academic goals.
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.
