Silver Grove School-Based Health Center

Working together to assure that all students reach

their highest potential

Objectives

Our health center will provide students with a place to go for

psychological, physiological and emotional needs. The center will encourage students to come in

and improve their learning experience by talking about the

things that are holding them back which may be many things in the environment or with their health.

History

Nestled in the center of the small town of

Silver Grove, population just over 1200, sits a small

school of around 300 children preschool-

12th grade.

History

Since the parents of these 300 students do not have

readily available access to public transportation or

healthcare providers the school district has opened a

School-based Health Center in order to help parents

maintain their child’s health.

The Health Center provides students with a variety of

primary, preventative, and mental healthcare

services.
