Hackley Community Care’s (HCC) School-Based Health Programs Are Designed to Meet Students and Families Where They Live: In Their Neighborhoods.

This program was established in the schools in 2005 when HCC was awarded a state grant to operate in three middle schools. The purpose of the School-Based Health Programs was to create a model of care for underserved children and youth through health education. Services have continuously expanded to include health, dental care, and mental health services.

Today, the School-Based Health Programs Model Has Expanded Services to Include Two Child and Adolescent Health Centers at Muskegon High School and Oakridge Middle/High School.

The school-based health program has developed successful partnerships with many Muskegon County School districts. The Muskegon Teen Health Center and Oakridge Teen Health Center serve as an anchor for kids, residents, neighborhoods, and schools. Additionally, virtual mental health services are offered to those districts without a program located there; as well as during the summer when school is out.
