The Washington County Commission on Children and Families brought together over two dozen partners after county school superintendents declared health care is a critical need in their districts. The area’s major hospital systems — including Tuality Healthcare, Kaiser Permanente, Legacy Health Systems and Providence Health and Services, as well as Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center – has had a role in planning and funding school-based health centers in the county. These include the one that opened in April at Tigard High School and ones that are planned in Forest Grove, Beaverton and Hillsboro.
