School-Based Health Centers
Program e-mail: SBHC.program@state.or.us
Oregon's 45 School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are a unique health care model in which comprehensive physical, mental and preventive health services are provided to youth and adolescents in a school setting.
Adolescents are often reported to have the lowest access to health care service use of any age group, and they are the least likely to seek care through traditional office-based settings.
SBHCs:
- See children who otherwise would not get care,
- Help students get back to the classroom faster,
- Lessen the demand on parents to take time off to get children to well and urgent care needs, and
- Improves students' health.
