Meeting Students Where They Are
– In Schools
Community Health Center is Connecticut’s largest and most trusted school-based health care provider, serving students in over 150 schools across the state. We bring expert care directly to students where they spend most of their time, in school.
How School-Based Health Helps Your Family Thrive
We help your child get the health care they need during the school day, so they can get back to learning.
Same-day pediatric care
Certified Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) give students the health care they need within minutes. Students can receive the same comprehensive medical services they would receive at a traditional primary medical care clinic including physicals and vaccines and help with headaches, abdominal pain, cold symptoms, allergies, menstrual cramps and everything in between.
Scheduled therapy visits
Our licensed therapists provide timely access to appointments to help your child with what they’re feeling, including stress, depression, anxiety, bullying, grief, trauma and more.
Routine dental visits
Our licensed hygienists play an important role in preventing and controlling cavities by providing dental cleanings, exams, x-rays and referrals to a dentist for exams.
No need to take time off work or wait on the phone to schedule an appointment at a traditional clinic. Most parents elect not to join their child’s school-based appointment, but you are always welcome to attend. We take steps to ensure your family is able to afford quality care.
We accept HUSKY Health (Medicaid) and many commercial health insurance plans and offer a sliding fee discount program for those who qualify School-based health care is proven to improve attendance and support student success.
