About This Location

Klahowya's SBHC delivers a broad spectrum of healthcare services to meet the diverse needs of its student body. The clinic supports the overall health of students by offering medical services, behavioral health support, and preventive care, all in a setting designed to encourage trust and comfort.

School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are essential in providing accessible, comprehensive healthcare to students directly within schools. They help reduce barriers to care, such as transportation difficulties, lack of time, or financial constraints, by bringing health services to a place where students already spend much of their day. SBHCs improve overall student wellness, which in turn positively impacts academic performance, attendance, and behavior. By addressing both physical and mental health needs in a familiar environment, SBHCs help create healthier communities, fostering a supportive and preventive care system for youth.
