Bringing the Lynn Community Health Center into your school!
Lynn Community Health Center partners with Lynn Public Schools to bring medical care and behavioral health services directly into Lynn schools. School-Based Health Centers help students get care during the school day, with services designed for the health, developmental, social-emotional, and accessibility needs of children and teens.
Students can use the School-Based Health Center at the school where they are enrolled. For students under 18, a parent or guardian must complete a consent form before services can be provided, except for emergency first aid, an initial consultation, or services allowed by Massachusetts law.
How to Enroll
To enroll, complete the consent form and return it to your School-Based Health Center. You may also visit your School-Based Health Center and staff can help you enroll.
Parents and guardians are welcome to come to appointments. If your family does not have health insurance, LCHC can help schedule an appointment with an Enrollment Coordinator to determine whether you qualify for assistance and help you enroll in the program that best fits your needs.
Call Today
The School-Based Health Centers are open when school is open. If you get sick and the School-Based Health Center is closed, you can call to speak with a nurse.
In an emergency, please call 911.

What Is a School-Based Health Center?
A School-Based Health Center is a licensed clinic of Lynn Community Health Center located inside a school. Through the SBHC, students can access medical care and behavioral health services during regular school hours.
The program is designed to make care easier to reach for students and families while keeping students connected to broader Lynn Community Health Center services when additional support is needed.
Who Can Use the SBHC?
Students are eligible to use the School-Based Health Center at the school where they are enrolled. The SBHC brochure states that all students are eligible for care regardless of ability to pay.
Students under 18 need a signed parent or guardian consent form before receiving services, except for emergency first aid, an initial consultation, or services allowed by Massachusetts law. Students 18 or older may consent for themselves.
If your child already has a primary care provider, they can still use the SBHC. The SBHC can coordinate with your child’s doctor when appropriate.

Confidential Care
Confidential care means that you can safely ask questions and receive certain types of healthcare without an adult present. This is so you can have open conversations about sensitive topics.
Privacy is important in healthcare and confidentiality (privacy) is kept as long as you are safe. We encourage you to speak with your parent or guardian to help you make your decisions, but we will protect your privacy as long as you are not going to hurt yourself and no one is hurting you.
Confidential care visits include:
- Pregnancy Testing
- Emergency Contraception
- Birth Control
- PrEP
- Other reproductive health issues and prevention
What is a healthy relationship?
- A healthy relationship is one with respect of you, your ideas, your body, and your choices.
- Signs of a healthy relationship
- Signs of an unhealthy relationship
How do I keep myself safe?
- The first step in keeping yourself safe is to know if you are in a healthy relationship
- Have a trusted adult you feel comfortable talking to! This can be a parent, guardian, aunt, uncle, older cousin, sibling, teacher, therapist, counselor, or your health care provider
