About
MidMichigan Community Health Services provides primary care and behavioral health services to children ages 5 to 21 regardless of health insurance coverage or ability to pay. We offer consistent, convenient, and carefree medical services-including everything from sports physicals and well-child visits to treatment of illness, injuries or chronic conditions to behavioral health therapy and health education. This approach helps to ensure the best care possible for the students-right in their school.
We continue to provide primary care and behavioral health services throughout the year even while schools are closed. Appointments are encouraged.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a School-Based Health Center
A school-based health center promotes the health of children, adolescents and their families by providing convenient local access to primary care, preventative care, and early intervention health services in underserved communities. It is a partnership between the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, schools and local healthcare providers.
What type of care will this facility provide?
Our services will include (but are not limited to) primary health care, acute health care (such as influenza testing, strep testing, colds, etc.), first aid, well child exams, sports physicals, immunization, labs, preventative care, risk behavior assessment and behavioral health counseling.
Does the child need parental consent to see the provider?
For minor patients to obtain general health services a signed consent form must be completed by a parent or legal guardian
Under Michigan law, minors do have the right to receive certain services (such as behavioral health counseling) without the consent or notification of their parent or guardian, however minors always have the option to involve their parent or guardian in their care and are encouraged to do so.
How are services paid for at the clinic?
Our health centers accept all Medicaid and private insurance plans. You will not be turned away if you do not have health insurance coverage or are unable to pay. No patient will ever receive a bill for the services provided at our School-Based Health Center. Our staff can also assist with enrolling your child in insurance and qualifying for financial assistance.
