School Based Health Centers
About School Based Health Centers
All Groton School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) are operated by Child & Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut (CFA) and have a Nurse Practitioner (APRN) and Mental Health Clinician (therapist) at each location.
- The School-Based Health Center is different from the school nurse’s office and a community primary care provider (PCP) but works collaboratively with them to provide comprehensive care for students.
- Health insurance is billed for services provided, but there is no cost to the family (no co-pays, deductible costs, or out-of-pocket expenses). **Tricare insurance is accepted.
- Same-day medical appointments are available to registered students! Please note that we request that registrations be updated annually.
