what is a health and wellness clinic?
it’s just like a doctor’s office in school:
It can be hard to get your child in to see their doctor; maybe your child doesn’t have a doctor at all. This is where school-based health centers, like the one Dayton Children’s now has at Warner Middle School, can help.
School-based health centers provide a range of services to meet kids' and teens' health care needs. Services can include:
- Well check-ups for those without a pediatrician
- Diagnosis, treatment and management of sudden illnesses and minor injuries
- Medical care for chronic conditions, such as asthma or diabetes
- Lab tests
- Prescriptions
- Physicals for sports or work
There are thousands of school-based health clinics across the country, in almost every state, serving more than two million students in preschool through 12th grade. They can be set up in a wide variety of ways—as different as the children they serve!
why have a school-based health and wellness clinic?
Research shows that kids who have access to regular health care do better overall in school. They are in class more because they are sick less often. They tend to get better grades and be less stressed about school when they are feeling well. This can be especially important for children with chronic conditions, such as asthma or diabetes. When the condition is managed well, the child has more time and energy to enjoy just being a kid!
At the same time, these clinics can make it easier for parents. These visits can be done at Warner Middle School or online—so by the time you pick your child up from school, they have had a medical exam, a diagnosis and potentially even medication prescribed and ready for you to pick up from the pharmacy of your choice.
Don’t worry—your child’s school will still have the Xenia school clinic as well.
