School-Based Health Services Coming Soon to Cascade & Everett High Schools

Community Health Center of Snohomish County (CHC) will add two new school-based health centers at Everett and Cascade High Schools opening in mid- 2025. CHC already operates two clinics in the Edmonds School District.

Services provided will include primary medical care, mental health care, and dental services.

All school-based health services are provided to students at no cost to the family and follow the same healthcare privacy rules as standard healthcare facilities. Capital funds were secured to pay for the necessary building updates to support CHC’s clinical services.

The school-based health model promotes parent involvement while ensuring a safe and respectful space where students can discuss their health concerns openly, knowing their information will be kept confidential.

“This new partnership with the Everett School District is an incredible step in our goal to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare to community members of all ages” said Joe Vessey, Chief Executive Officer at CHC of Snohomish County.

By locating clinics on campus, CHC aims to reduce barriers and make it easier for students to access healthcare services and health education. Services will be available during the school year, with appointments offered before, during, and after school to accommodate students’ busy schedules.

Students with school-based health centers on campus can access services and critical health education without the stress of figuring out transportation or worrying about how they are going to pay.

School-based health centers offer the following health services to students on campus:

• • Illness or injury
  • Wellness exams and preventative healthcare, including health education
  • Chronic condition and medication management
  • Mental, behavioral, and social-emotional health services
  • Sports physicals
  • Dental cleaning and treatment
  • Insurance eligibility and enrollment assistance
  • Referrals to other healthcare providers and specialists as needed
