School-Based Health Services

What are school-based health services?

One Community Health believes everyone should have access to health care. That’s why we care for students conveniently where they already are — at school. Services include medical, dental, preventative, and behavioral health care that are offered in schools or on school grounds. School-based health services increase access to quality health care and lower many of the barriers students commonly face when seeking health care, including cost, transportation, confidentiality concerns, inconvenience, and lack of primary care options.

Services

In addition to medical care, we offer a variety of health care services including:

Before your child can play a sport, the state requires a sports physical to be completed by a medical provider. Physicals ensure a child’s safety and ability to participate in sports. During these visits you can also discuss physical and mental health, check their immunization records, and ask any health-related questions. We offer sports physical appointments year-round at all of our clinics, including our school-based health centers.

For Hood River County School District students, call/text 541-308-8345 to schedule at the Hood River School-Based Health Center.

For Klickitat and Skamania counties, call/text 541-386-6380 to schedule at one of our clinics in White Salmon and Stevenson.

For Wasco county, call/text 541-386-6380 to schedule at our clinic in The Dalles or 541-386-2304 for students at Dufur School.

Frequently Asked Questions

Health Center Satisfaction Survey: 

Students between the ages of 12 and 19 who access school-based services may be asked to complete an anonymous survey after their visit. The survey asks about the student’s satisfaction and experience, as well as some general questions about their physical and mental health status. Students can decline to take the survey and this will not affect their ability to get care at the SBHC. To see a copy of the survey, please visit SBHC Data Requirements. If you have questions about the survey, please email the SBHC State Program Office.
