PARTNERS FOR HEALTHY STUDENTS

Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s Partners for Healthy Students program is a school-based health service that provides basic medical and dental care to uninsured and underinsured children at participating schools in the Tri-City area. The intent is simple and straightforward: to reduce the human and financial costs that can result when a child has delayed or missing care.

The free medical and dental care is provided to qualified students at the schools where the clinics are located. The in-school clinics are administered by school nurses and licensed by the state. Acceptance is voluntary and parental consent and participation is a program requirement.

Partners for Healthy Students provides parents with the opportunity to give their children the gift of good healthcare. Healthy children feel better about themselves, perform better in school, are better able to enjoy life, and have a better chance of growing into healthy adults.

Services range from treatment of minor illnesses and management of chronic illnesses to lab tests and referral to doctors, dentists and other specialists.
