    Dear Parents and Students:

     
    We the staff of McKean School-Based Health Center would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and familiarize you with our services. 

    The McKean School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is a partnership between Christiana Care Health Services, Red Clay School District, and the Delaware Division of Public Health. This letter is an invitation to sign up your child, grades 9-12 in the SBHC.

    Health care in the SBHC is provided by a multi-disciplinary team. A Nurse Practitioner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health, and a Registered Dietitian provide care at your child's school.

     

    To sign up your child in the SBHC:

    Up-to-date insurance information is needed if your child is insured. No co-pay, co-insurance or deductible will be charged to you and no one will be turned away based on ability to pay.

    For your child to use the School-Based Health Center, you will need to complete and return the Registration packet.  You can complete the Online Wellness Center Registration form, which is located under Forms & Links. You or your student may also pick one up in the School-Based Health Center, the Nurse’s office, the Main Office, or the Guidance Office. We cannot provide services to your child unless your signature is on the form. 

    Please know that your child's pediatrician or family doctor is still your child's main doctor. SBHC does not take the place of your child's pediatrician or family doctor, and SBHC doctors and nurses will work with your child's main doctor to care for your child. The SBHC offers services that may round out the care provided by your main doctor. When appropriate, and with your permission, we will try to share medical information with your child's doctor to prevent any duplication of health care services, and to take the best care of your child. If your child does not have a doctor, we can help you find one.

     

    The SBHC staff thanks you for your time. Together with you and your child's main doctor, we will work towards keeping your child healthy and in school. Please encourage your child's pediatrician or family doctor to call the SBHC with questions.

    If you have questions or need more information, please call the McKean School-Based Health Center at (302) 636-5330.
