School Based Health Centers

The mission of the Washington County School Based Health Center (SBHC) Initiative is to support development of SBHCs throughout Washington County.

The Washington County SBHC Initiative has led to the creation of new SBHC's in Washington County.  In addition to the Merlo Station SBHC in Beaverton, an additional SBHC has been added at Tigard High, which serves the Tigard-Tualatin School District, and one at Forest Grove High, serving students in Forest Grove, Cornelius, Banks and Gaston.  Additional SBHCs are planned to open over the next three years.

The SBHC Initiative has involved over 25 community partners, including school districts and higher education institutions, health systems and hospitals, health and mental health providers and other private and public sector funders and organizations.
