Ryan Health School-Based Health Centers conveniently offer primary care services to students during the school day. Because of their location, School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) make it easy for busy students with busy parents to receive primary care and preventive health services as well as mental health services.
Ryan Health’s SBHCs on your campus are offering the updated COVID-19 vaccine to students at our SBHCs. Vaccines catch-ups are available to students every school day during the SBHC hours of operation. For your student to receive a vaccine at your SBHC site, please email school@ryanhealth.org to schedule an appointment and complete the parental consent form.
If your child is enrolled in a School-Based Health Center they are able to get the same care at school that they would get at one of Ryan Health's main centers, including:
- Annual physical exams (including those for sports, camp, and working papers)
- Vaccines
- Treatment for chronic and acute illnesses
- Medications and prescriptions
- Screening for vision, hearing, asthma, obesity, and other medical conditions
- Referrals to specialty care if needed
- Mental health services
- Short-term therapy
- Group therapy
- Family therapy
- Crisis intervention
School-Based Health Centers provide services that are supplementary to the services your child already receives from their primary care provider. The School-Based Health Center does not replace your child’s primary care provider.

Questions
The School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is a pediatric clinic conveniently located within the school. It allows children to access primary care services and mental health services without missing school and without their parents having to take time away from work. School-Based Health Centers have been proven to lower the chance of an emergency room visit during the school day and make it easier to access mental health services while limiting missed class time. If your child has a chronic illness, or suddenly gets sick at school, a School-Based Health Center is able to provide necessary healthcare to enable your child to stay in school when possible.
If your child already has a doctor, then the School Based Health Center staff will work along with the care that your child’s doctor provides to make sure your child gets the best care both in and out of school.
There is no out-of-pocket cost for the services provided by the School-Based Health Center. Students will not be billed for the care they receive. Ryan Health does bill Medicaid and private insurance directly in order to be reimbursed for some of the services we provide in the SBHCs. You will not receive a bill or have a co-pay for any services provided.
To enroll your child in one of Ryan Health’s School-Based Health Centers, sign the parent consent form linked on this webpage through PandaDoc. Alternatively, bring the paper version of the form to the SBHC or complete the form on your computer, tablet, or phone and send it to school@ryanhealth.org.
The SBHC is open every day when school is in session, 8:00am - 3:30pm.
