UCFS SBHC services include: yearly well-child examinations, vaccinations, flu shots, sports physicals, acute care visits (e.g. sick visits, lacerations, injuries, etc.) and chronic care visits (e.g. asthma, ADHD, etc.). We encourage early intervention and prevention through prompt medical treatment and education. The behavioral health clinician provides mental health assessments, substance abuse screenings and counseling. The APRN and behavioral health clinician work closely with the school nurse to ensure effective communication. The dental hygienist will be on site several days each year to provide oral health screening, x-rays, fluoride treatment and cleanings.

Any student with a signed consent form who attends Norwich Free Academy or the Sachem Campus may be seen at the UCFS SBHC.

When a student arrives at the SBHC for either an acute or chronic visit, we verify that the child has a signed consent form. If they do not have a signed consent form, we attempt to contact the child’s parent/guardian for a one time verbal consent. This notifies you that your child is at the UCFS SBHC and you then have the option to allow your child to be seen with your verbal permission or for them not to be seen at that time. A verbal permission is only good for that day’s visit and may only be obtained once per school year. If your child comes into the UCFS SBHC for subsequent visits without a consent form signed by their parent/guardian they will be unable to be seen that day without a parent/guardian present.

Yes, all services provided at the UCFS SBHC will be billed to the identified insurance. Co-pays will be billed to responsible party. If your child is uninsured, please call our Access to Care Program at 860-822-4798 for a free insurance eligibility assessment.
