East Jefferson School Based Health Center is one of 12 school-based health centers Jefferson Parish School District operates. A school-based health center is a comprehensive healthcare clinic that is housed within a school and provides students with medical and mental health services. Medical services have finally been added to our clinic and available to all consented students!

A key benefit of the SBHC is that it keeps students in school and parents at work and reduces emergency room visits.

Consented students of the SBHC can receive services from a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, licensed clinical social worker, or psychiatrist who can diagnose and treat physical or mental illness early and cost effectively. In order for a student to receive services, a written or electronic consent must be fully completed by a parent/guardian

There are no out-of-pocket costs for any student, insured or uninsured.

Co-payments are waived for all students enrolled at our SBHC.  Medicaid and Medicare as well as commercial insurance are accepted. Students who are uninsured can also receive care with a consent and enrollment form on file with the health center. 

Services are given to all students at NO OUT OF POCKET COST.

All students must have a current consent and enrollment form on file to be seen at the East Jefferson School Based Health Center. Consent and enrollment forms are sent home at the beginning of the year; however, parents may sign their child up for services at any time during the school year. Electronic consent forms may also be found below through a QR code or links. Paper consent forms can also be found and printed below or from our district webpage.at Jpschools.org/SBHC.

If you have an emergency outside of school hours, please call 9-1-1.
