As parents, we are often running around from place to place, trying to juggle multiple roles around the house and at work. Finding the right balance between normal day-to-day activities and tending to the medical and/or social service needs of your children may be difficult.
This is where your child's School Based Health Center can help. Our mission is to keep your child healthy, happy, and in school. Our Health Centers are located in your child's school and operate much like a small doctor's office does. Our medical team works closely with the school nurse and is available during the school day to assist students with basic sick visits, physicals, immunizations, and more. We have Mental Health Clinicians to provide individual and/or group therapy to students, as well as to families that may be struggling with their child's mood or behavior. If necessary, we have access to a psychiatrist. Our Westhill High School location is staffed with a Dentist and Hygienist, whose services are available to all Stamford Public School students.
The SBHC is open during regular school hours and select sites may be open during school holidays and summer vacations. For any questions after hours, please call Family Centers Health Care at 203-717-1760.
While we do bill insurance (where applicable) and we request that information on our enrollment form, there are no out-of-pocket costs for any of our services provided to your child. Regardless of insurance coverage, no student is ever turned away from receiving our professional care. Additionally, your child can access School Based Health Center services even if they already have a medical or dental provider in the community. We will coordinate their care with them as you see fit.
Family Centers Health Care is licensed by the State of Connecticut, receives HHS funding, and has Federal Public Health Service (PHS) deemed status with respect to certain health or health-related claims, including medical malpractice claims, for itself and its covered individuals.” For more information, visit www.bphc.hrsa.gov/ftca and read Section 224(q)(2)(D) of the PHS Act.
