School Health Program
The Montefiore School Health Program is the largest school-based health program of its kind in the country, with more than 13,000 children registered in 13 schools in the Bronx - five elementary, one K-8, two middle and five high schools.
All Montefiore school-based health centers provide comprehensive primary care services. The program has a particular interest in improved asthma care. Mental health services focusing on depression, anxiety, bereavement, crisis intervention and family issues are available at each site.
The high school centers offer comprehensive adolescent health care including reproductive health care services that provide pregnancy testing and prenatal care; options counseling; family planning; screening, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV counseling and testing; and routine pap tests for sexually active girls.
A mobile oral health program visits each elementary and middle school program, providing preventive care as well as minor reparative work.
Schools interested in starting a school-based health center can call David Appel, MD, director of the Montefiore School Health Program, at 718-696-4070.
