What is a School-Based Health Center?

SBHCs offer medical and mental health services to all students of a particular school district. We are located on school campuses with the aim of reducing missed school time to address primary healthcare needs. Our SBHCs welcome all students, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and are certified through the Oregon Health Authority. Each center offers a wide range of primary care services to support student health and well-being.

Caring for Students, Right Where They Are

At Virginia Garcia, we believe that when students are healthy, they can focus on learning and reaching their full potential. That’s why we operate SBHCs in five locations across seven school districts, making it easier for students to get the care they need. Our SBHCs provide high-quality, culturally respectful medical and mental health care, along with a dental sealant program that brings oral health services to multiple communities. Staffed by dedicated providers, therapists, and health professionals, our centers also promote student leadership through student health advisory councils (SHACs).

We welcome all students regardless of insurance status and/or ability to pay. All of VGMHCs SBHCs are certified through the Oregon Health Authority and offer a wide range of primary care services.
