The mission of the Agency and of the SBHC is to promote the well-being and development of all children and their families in particular to give priority to the unmet needs of children lacking physical, emotional, and intellectual care and nurturing. Our goal is to provide the health care that allows the child/adolescent to maximize their school experience.  The SBHC is licensed by the Department of Public Health.  We provide confidential physical and behavioral health services to students on site.  Parents must sign a permission form for student to use the center.
