Services at the Bobcat Health Clinic on the Hope High School campus are available for every student enrolled in the Hope Public Schools, according to Gretchen Carlton, clinic director.
Carlton said misperceptions about the operations of the clinic have resulted in some students not taking opportunities offered by the school district.
Student patients are assessed by a school nurse on their campus and referred to the clinic for further services.\r\n
\r\nPayments for services vary with treatment provided, Carlton said.\r\n
Students and district personnel seeking treatment should register for services by completing forms required by the clinic, she said.
Regular hours for the Bobcat Clinic school-based health center are from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday for medical services; and, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday for behavioral health services. The clinic is closed daily from 11-11:30 a.m. for lunch. The clinic’s nurse practitioner may not be on campus during regular hours, at times, but those times will be announced by Carlton. \r\n
