The Montezuma-Cortez school district’s School Based Health Center recently released updated information on its offerings for students, families of students and district staff.
The health center is at the Montezuma-Cortez High School.
“SBHC provides access to comprehensive primary and behavioral health care in a convenient, inviting environment,” the center said.
Teresa Brown-Sanchez and Candiss Wolle are the center’s physicians, offering services for sports physicals, preschool physicals, well-child checks, acute injury and illness, reproductive health, testing and treatment of STD/STIS, lab tests (limited), concussion management education, parent and student health, reproductive health, drug, tobacco, alcohol prevention and treatment, youth mental and behavior health, as well as individual, family and telehealth.
There is no charge for students to visit the school nurse, but insurance will be billed for a provider visit. Care will be provided, however, regardless of the person’s insurance or ability to pay, according to the center.
Sports physicals are available for $35.
The center operates from Monday through Thursday from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They are closed from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 a.m. for lunch. The hours of operation are based on the district’s schedule, and the health center is closed when the district is not in session.
