School Based Health Centers (SBHCs) in Rhode Island

School based Health Centers:

• Offer a range of physical, behavioral, and oral health services to students in schools.
• Allow students to take care of their health needs so they are better able to learn.
• Make getting health care easy:

Students do not have to leave school, which avoids transportation problems and absences from school.

Students do not need medical insurance to receive services.

There are currently 8 school based health centers in urban communities in Rhode Island.
