Staff is available through the SBHC to assist with the application process. Parent Involvement? A parent or guardian must sign a consent form before a student may use any health center service. Once this is done, the student may use the health center at any time. Supporting family communication is a principal goal of the health center. Staff encourages students to discuss their health care with their parents. However, parents are not routinely notified when a student uses the health center, except by student request or when the staff becomes aware of serious health concerns.
Confidential... As in the case of all health visits, student visits to the health center are confidential. Information is not shared with anyone else without the student's and/or the parents' permission. The only exceptions are life-threatening situations.
What Does It Cost? There is no charge for medical services to the students or family. Students' will not have to pay co-pays, deductibles or fees to be seen. There may be a charge associated with mental health and substance abuse services when students health insurance does not pay for the service.
