School Based/Telemedicine
• School Based Health Center Partners: Emory University, Clayton County Public Schools and Family Health Centers of Georgia• The school based health center is located at North
Clayton High School. The clinic provides on-site BH support groups and individual counseling. The goal is to evaluate 9th graders over the next four years as they matriculate through high school (academics, social needs, class behaviors). In addition, there is a student committee that works closely with the SHBC team.
• Telemedicine : Crisp County and Appling County (school based)
• Currently, there is limited to no access to therapist and/or psychiatrist in the community. The setup for the telemedicine would be in a convenient location to the school as well as in an area that adults and/or seniors could access it as well.
• CORE and CSB• Tanner Medical Center partnership with Haralson
County School Systems
• APEX Project – school-based counseling by CSB’s
WellCare is committed to continually improving the quality of care and service that we provide to our members.
