What is the new School Based Health Center at Durango High School?
The new School Based Health Center (SBHC) offers a practical and inexpensive approach for providing preventive and primary health care services to students during school hours. The center serves students who are under-insured and uninsured, are without transportation to health care providers, or those with family members unable to take time off from work to take their children to doctors during the school day. The SBHC is an extension of public health in the community and is an integrated part of the healthy schools initiative occurring throughout Durango School District 9-R.
