Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - The project being proposed is to build a School Based Health Clinic at Glenbrook South High School, located in Glenview Illinois. The clinic will primarily serve students in the High School District. A SBHC is a walk-in, full-service clinic environment for students offering a range of age-appropriate health care services regardless of the ability to pay. Through a partnership between a school district and a community health organization, a school-based health center is a powerful tool for achieving health equity among students by offering: Primary medical care (athletic and school physicals, immunizations, diagnostic testing); Mental/behavioral health care; Health education and promotion; Substance abuse counseling; and Nutrition education. Students can be treated for acute illnesses, such as flu or strep throat, and chronic conditions, including asthma and diabetes. They can also be screened for dental, vision, and hearing problems. With an emphasis on prevention, early intervention, and risk reduction, school-based health centers seek to improve students' overall physical and emotional health regardless of the ability to pay.
