School Based Health Center

Welcome to the Sandy Creek School Based Health Center

School-Based Health Center Services – Sandy Creek Central School District
The School-Based Health Center (SBHC) provides prompt, convenient, and high-quality healthcare to enrolled students in the Sandy Creek Central School District. Operated by ConnextCare and supported by state funding, these centers are an extension of our commitment to keeping students healthy and ready to learn.
There are no out-of-pocket costs for services provided at the SBHC. We bill most insurances and accept what we receive as full payment. However, you may be financially responsible for certain services that fall outside of the SBHC, such as:
- Prescriptions
- Laboratory tests
- Referral appointments

If your child does not currently have health insurance, ConnextCare’s Outreach Coordinators can assist you in exploring coverage options.
