Everett and Cascade to open free student health centers

EVERETT — High school students in Everett will have access to free health care services next year, thanks to two new school-based health centers.

Everett and Cascade high schools plan to offer on-site primary, mental health and dental care by the start of school next fall. Community Health Center of Snohomish County, a network of government-funded clinics for low-income residents, will manage and staff the health centers.

The services, provided at no cost to families, include wellness exams, sports physicals, medication management, counseling, dental cleanings, insurance help and referrals to other providers. Community Health Center provides interpreter services through bilingual staff as well as virtual language services if needed.

The clinic will operate under standard minor health privacy rules. Parents or guardians need to fill out a consent form before most services, and when appropriate, will be included in student care.
