School Based Health CentersOur school based health centers are partnerships between Price Charities, schools and community health organizations to provide on-site medical and mental health services that promote the health and educational success of school aged children and adolescence. Price Charities believes that school based health centers play an important role in helping families manage the physical and mental health care needs of their children. Price Charities helped establish, and continues to fund, two school based health centers. These school based health centers provide comprehensive preventive and primary health care services to students on the school campus ensuring accessible, affordable, and appropriate integrated health care. We believe that the school is the logical place to provide care and referrals for our children. Students and families feel more comfortable seeking health care advice - especially mental health counseling - from people they know and trust.
