School Based Health Center – SBHC

At the SBHC you can get the same kinds of health services that you receive at a regular primary care clinic; and we are conveniently located at Gold Beach High School! We don’t have to replace your primary care provider, but we are there for your acute and minor healthcare needs.
This can include sore throat, ear pain, UTI symptoms, well child checks, immunizations, the list goes on. Our healthcare providers are specifically trained to work with teens and are available to help you with whatever you need.
We can even see staff and families!

We are proud to be part of Coast Community Health Center serving the healthcare needs of the southern Oregon coast!

Walk-Ins Welcome

The school nurse and other school staff are employees of the Brookings-Harbor School District. Their work is governed by state and federal education laws, and other school regulations. They provide certain health services, such as hearing, vision, and other needed screenings. They can give first aid and dispense prescription medication (with orders from a medical provider), but they cannot diagnose conditions or write prescriptions.

The SBHC staff include doctors, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, registered nurses, behavioral health providers, and social health staff who are employees of Coast Community Health Center. They help to increase access to health care and coordinate care with pediatricians, school health room staff, and other community partners. It does not replace the school nurse’s office but supports it and connects care between the school and primary care providers.
