Caring hearts, guiding health, for growing minds
A School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is a health clinic located right on a school campus. It provides primary, preventive, and urgent care services to help students stay healthy and ready to learn.
The Maryland School-Based Health Center Program supports these clinics so students and families can get care where it’s most convenient—at school. Our center is located on the campus of Indian Head Elementary School and is designed to increase access to health services for all Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) students.
The School-Based Health Center at Indian Head Elementary offers a range of services during school hours. These services are available to CCPS students to help them stay healthy, in school, and ready to succeed.
All students enrolled in Charles County Public Schools are eligible to enroll in the School-Based Health Center and receive services. To enroll your child, simply complete the enrollment packet provided by the school and return it to the school nurse at Indian Head Elementary School.
The SBHC is not a replacement for your child’s primary care provider. Instead, it offers a convenient option for students to receive care for illnesses or minor health concerns during the school day. With your permission, SBHC staff can coordinate and share information with your child’s doctor to ensure continuity of care.
School-based health centers help students stay healthier—and healthier students learn better. When students have easy access to care, they miss fewer school days, feel better, and can focus more on learning.
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact 301-934-7341. We look forward to supporting the health and well-being of every student we serve.
