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

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 medical care, dental care, and mental health services.

**With the closure of MLK Elementary this year, we are happy to welcome Muskegon Heights Public School Academy’s elementary students to continue receiving mental health services at one of our teen health centers, clinics, or via virtual services.  Call 231.737.1335 to schedule an appointment.

Teen Health Center Model

Hackley Community Care’s Teen Health Centers at Muskegon High School (MTHC) and Oakridge Middle School (OTHC) provide medical, mental health, and dental services to children ages 5 to 21. Services are available to students from all school districts.

Both locations can serve as a patient’s primary care provider (PCP) or we can coordinate services with outside PCP’s.

**We encourage parents to complete and sign a consent form for students to be seen at the Teen Health Centers. **
