New Pediatric Health Services Launch in Marietta and Belpre Schools

August 15, 2025 - 11:52

As students return to school in the Marietta and Belpre City school districts, they will benefit from enhanced pediatric health services directly within their school buildings. This initiative is made possible through a new partnership between the school districts and a prominent children’s health organization.

The School-Based Health Center (SBHC) will provide a range of health services tailored specifically for children, ensuring that students have access to necessary medical care without the need to leave school. This program aims to address various health needs, including routine check-ups, immunizations, and mental health support, all designed to promote the overall well-being of students.

The introduction of these services is expected to significantly improve health outcomes for children in the area, making it easier for families to access care. By integrating health services into the educational environment, the initiative not only supports the physical health of students but also contributes to their academic success and emotional well-being.
