Announcements (Details)

BMHS School Based Health Clinic

Beloit Memorial High School has partnered with the Beloit Area Community Health Center and we are pleased to announce the opening of a school-based student health clinic at BMHS. This clinic is designed to meet the medical needs of our high school-aged students that cannot be addressed by the school nurse in the traditional school nurse setting. Dental and mental health service referrals will also be available. Referrals to the clinic will be made through the school nurse. No minor student will be seen in the clinic without parent/guardian consent. Enclosed is an informational pamphlet describing the services that will be provided by the school-based clinic and a consent form for treatment. If you want your child to be able to access school-based student health clinic services, please print off the consent form and return it to the school nurse. The clinic will open on Monday, February 13, 2012. The clinic hours will be Mondays and Thursdays 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Services will be provided by a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with the assistance of a bilingual Certified Medical Assistant. We are extremely excited to offer this opportunity to our students and their families. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school nurse, Kathy Pohl at 361-3070.
