Brandywine High School's Wellness Center is staffed by friendly, caring practitioner. The Wellness Center works closely with your primary healthcare provider to care for your child. If you have not yet found a primary healthcare provider, the Center can help you locate one.
Teenagers are part of our population typically underserved in their medical care. They need care that is sensitive to their developmental and emotional needs. Schools are an ideal setting for teens to receive preventive health services. Having on-site health services and education keeps kids in school and improves the student’s ability to concentrate in class. School-Based Health Centers help teens overcome barriers to receiving good health care like lack of transportation, inconvenient appointment times, or worries about cost and confidentiality.
Any student registered at Brandywine High School is eligible to become a member. The BHS Wellness Center follows Federal law that speaks to confidentially of care. However, we encourage students to involve their parents or guardians in their healthcare. Parents and guardians are invited to call with questions or arrange to visit the School-Based Health Center. We now also follow CDC guidelines for safety with regards to additional risks due to COVID-19.
