School-based health care centers help improve the lives of New Mexico’s children because they place a breadth of essential services in exactly the right environment – our schools. SBHCs support student success because healthy students are better learners.
SBHCs provide trained health care professionals licensed to:
- Treat illness and prescribe medication
- Assess health care status
- Counsel students and their families about approaches to wellness, illness management, and resources to meet students’ needs
- Make referrals and coordinate outside services such as X-rays, dental work, and other services not available at the SBHC
- Serve as a resource on health issues for school staff
- Provide behavioral health services
