WELCOME

MISSION

Blackstone Valley Tech School Based Health Center (SBHC) provides on site medical, nutrition, and mental health case management services. The Health Center is under the direction of a Medical Director in conjunction with Milford Regional Medical Center. The Health Center offers convenient, teen friendly services in a confidential manner and is operational while school is in session.

OUR GOAL

Providing a Bridge to Community Health Care

Our goal is to treat and to prevent health and social problems that often interfere with academic attendance and success.  Students can use the SBHC to receive preventative health care or treatment for acute/minor illnesses, psychosocial and emotional support. We are also available for health related questions, concerns or support services if needed. The Health Center WILL NOT replace your primary care provider. Correspondence will be forwarded to your primary care provider.

Any Student Can Enroll in the School Based Health Center

Permission

If you are under 18 years old, one of your or guardian must sign the consent form before you can be seen at the School Based Health Center.  However, if you do not have a signed consent form, the school nurse is always available to assess your medical problem.

Appointments

You can make an appointment by contacting the Office Coordinator at the School Based Health Center located in the school's health suite.  When school is not in session (after hours or during vacations), we recommend you contact your primary care provider or local emergency room.

Payment

No student will be denied health services due to lack of insurance.  If you have private insurance or Medicaid, the School Based Health Center will submit the necessary billing.  If any health claim is denied, the SBHC will absorb the cost of your child's visit.
"You can't educate a child who isn't healthy, and you can't
keep a child healthy who isn't educated." - Dr. Joyce Elders
