School-Based Health Center

Christina School District offers expanded health services through the District’s partnership with Christiana Care Health Services at the following schools: Brookside Elementary School, Christiana High School & Middle School Honors Academy, Glasgow High School, and Newark High School.

In-School Health Care

Because it's located right in school, SBHCs help students overcome many obstacles to receiving good health care - obstacles such as lack of transportation, inconvenient appointment times, or worries about cost and confidentiality. SBHCs provide comprehensive medical and mental health care, treatment and health education, to promote a healthy lifestyle.

This SBHC is operated by a partnership that includes Christiana Care, Christina School District and the Delaware Division of Public Health, Department of Health and Social Services.
