School-Based Health Centers

School-Based Health Centers provide individual and group counseling, behavioral modification, substance abuse counseling and prevention and referrals. When children are healthy, they learn better. But many children in Detroit have limited access to health care services. That's why St. John Health offers valuable health care services at 11 health centers in the Metro Detroit area that are committed to uplifting and empowering our young people to live healthy lifestyles and make healthy decisions. Our programs focus on nurturing the mind, body and spirit through traditional physical care and mental, emotional and spiritual support. For many students in our service area, access to medical services is a challenge. We are helping to eliminate the barriers. Our Services include: 

• Medical Services
• Counseling Services
• Social development
• Career development
• Health education
• Immunizations
