School-Based Health Centers (SBHC)

 
CCPC School-Based Health Centers provide primary care services to students in the Cincinnati Public Schools. These health centers serve the medical needs of children and families in the school and community. Currently, there are 13 School-Based Health Centers serving over 10,000 students.  Dental services are available at five school health locations, and vision services are offered at two. These locations serve both students and members of the community.
 
The health centers provide physicals, asthma management, immunizations, prescription medications, sick and injury care, and health education to children and families. Having a health center in a school makes it easier for parents to keep up with their children’s medical needs, and keep children in school.
 
School-Based Health Centers create better access to healthcare and help keep families healthy!
