Section 4102-3.0 - Designation as a School-Based Health Center

3.1 School-based health centers (SBHC) are designed to reduce risk behaviors and improve health among children and adolescents through health promotion and education, early intervention, and preventive care. These services include physical examinations, treatment of minor acute medical conditions, counseling and community referrals. SBHCs do not supplant the primary care provider, but rather serve to coordinate care between students and their primary care provider, as well as increase access to services.

3.2 A health care clinic may be designated as a school-based health center (SBHC) by the Agency if it has demonstrated that it meets the criteria provided in Sections 4.0-8.0 in these regulations. The Agency shall be the sole arbiter of the satisfaction of these criteria.

3.3 Application for designation shall be made to the Agency using a standard application form. The form is available by contacting the Division of Public Health, school-based health center program.

3.4 Designations are non-transferable and valid for a period of five years from date of issue. Application for renewal is available by contacting the Division of Public Health, school-based health center program.
