School-based health centers

The School-Based Health Center (SBHC) program in Columbia County provides children and youth with access to primary care and mental health services in order to have healthy students that are ready to be learn.
​
There are four SBHCs in Columbia County: Clatskanie SBHC, Sacagawea Health Center in St. Helens, Rainier Health Center, and Spencer Health & Wellness in Vernonia. Students can get health screenings, sports physicals, well-checks, immunizations, and mental health counseling among many other health services.

SBHCs are located on school campuses in order to overcome barriers like transportation and to prevent students from missing school as much as possible. We accept most insurances, but no student will be turned away due to their ability to pay.

Please fill out the following forms before you or your child comes in for your appointment:
  • Registration Packet
  • Required disclosure: Patients ages 12-19 who visit the SBHC may be asked to complete an anonymous survey after their visit. The survey asks about the patient's satisfaction and experience at the SBHC, as well as some general questions about their physical and mental health status. Patients can refuse to take the survey and this will not affect their ability to get care at the SBHC. To see a copy of the survey, please go to the "SBHC data Requirements" link at Oregon Health Authority. If you have questions about the survey, please contact the SBHC State Program Office at sbhc.program@state.or.us
Worried about you or another student's safety?
Every child in Oregon can report a tip confidentially to SafeOregon. A SafeOregon technician will immediately receive the tip and respond accordingly. Tips can be submitted online, by an app, calling, email, or texting.

Common tip topics include, but are not limited to:
  • bullying or harassment
  • possession, use, or distribution of drugs or alcohol
  • threats of assault
  • threats to the safety of the school or students
  • cyberbullying
  • sexual assault/harassment
  • suicide threat
  • possession of a weapon
  • abuse 
Youth Advisory Councils (YACs) allow students to promote health and wellness at their schools in partnership with the School-Based Health Center program. Two schools have active YACs and any student is welcome to join.
