About This Location
At Mountain View Middle School, the SBHC offers comprehensive care focused on both physical and emotional health. The clinic works closely with students and families to ensure they receive timely care, reducing barriers to access and fostering a healthy learning 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.
