First school-based clinic in Snohomish County opens at Meadowdale High

LYNNWOOD — A converted storage closet at Meadowdale High School is helping kids stay healthy and in class.

This fall, the Edmonds School District opened a school-based health center — an on-campus walk-in clinic that provides medical, dental and mental health services. The clinic is run by Community Health Centers of Snohomish County out of a small room formerly used to store library supplies.

Already, it is improving attendance in class, said Mara Marano-Bianco, director of health services for the school district.

Not one student at Meadowdale High School started school late this year because they were missing the required vaccines to attend school. Instead of waiting up to a month for a doctor’s appointment, students who needed immunizations visited the health center, received their shots and got right back to class.

1. Lovely. when I went to school, we had a big school physical day before school started for shots etc.

And to check if we were healthy. And we had a school nurse. Do they have those these days? Sounds like not.
