School Based Health Centers

The goal of Buncombe County School Based Health Centers is to keep students well and healthy. Healthy students learn better. When students are well they miss fewer days, perform better and have the best chance for a bright future.

School Based Health Centers work with students, parents, school staff and primary care providers to give the type of care and guidance adolescents need most. We encourage students to take care of themselves and to make better decisions for their overall well-being.

All of our services require parent permission for students to be seen .We link with the school staff to help students succeed in school. School Based Health Centers improve access to health care all teens, helping reduce the number of missed school days and taking the strain off parents who have to miss work to take their children to the doctor.

Teens are the least likely age group to seek health care, yet they engage in behaviors that can be harmful to their health. By making health care available right in the school, we help make sure students get the health care services they need to become and remain healthy.

Teens without health insurance rarely get routine health care. Because of our School based Health Centers, students receive the health care they need regardless of their ability to pay.
