School Based Health Centers
New Milford Public Schools is excited to collaborate with Connecticut Institute For Communities, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering opportunities to serve our communities through the school-based health center (SBHC) model. Our goal is to provide services that families may not otherwise have access to. The Centers will be located within the walls of our school buildings and will meet critical needs for students who the COVID-19 health crisis has impacted.”
Working as a collaborative team, school educators and administrators will partner with the SBHC personnel to design the systems and protocols needed to maximize this opportunity. The Centers will not replace the services offered currently by district staff, but will become a welcome addition to families who have difficulty getting to outside providers. Scheduling and attending appointments during the day can be difficult for some parents. When the Centers are fully up and running, appointments may occur at school during the child’s day with parents’ consent.
