Who We Are

School-based health centers are clinics inside schools that provide easy access to affordable health care for students. Loyola’s School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Proviso East High School has been serving Proviso East students for 19 years. The health center is supported by federal and state grants and gifts from private foundations. Proviso East High School partners with us to provide space for the clinic, which is located on the first floor in Room 86B. Loyola faculty, staff, and health care students provide health care and health education tailored to the needs of adolescents. The SBHC is fully accredited by the Illinois Department of Public Health and meets all standards for quality in primary care and behavioral health. Read more about the services we offer . . .

Our Most Recent Annual Report
Visualizing Health Equity: One Size Does Not Fit All
To build a Culture of Health, we must first ensure everyone has the basics to be healthy. And when it comes to expanding opportunities for health, thinking the same approach will work universally is like expecting everyone to be able to ride the same bike. Visualización la Equidad en Salud: Una Medida No Se Adjusta a Todos Para construir una cultura saludable, lo primordial es asegurarnos de que todos tengamos las bases para estar saludables. Y cuando se trata de ampliar las oportunidades referentes a la salud, pretender que un mismo método funcionaria de una manera universal es asumir que todas las personas son capaces de montar una misma bicicleta. | ||
