INFORMATION ABOUT MADISON HIGH SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER:

Madison High School-Based Health Center is located on the campus of Madison High and Madison Middle Schools.  It is the building standing alone that is located straight-ahead when you come through the gate of the campus.

Students can be seen at the school-based health center with parental permission.  This permission is given through the completion of a Consent Form.  This Consent Form remains in effect while your child is enrolled in school, but we do send a short Consent Form Update annually to be completed.  This lets us know if there are pertinent changes we should know about.  These forms can be downloaded from the school website.  However, we do send the appropriate form home with your child shortly after the start of school.

All enrolled students are provided care by Madison High School-Based Health Center at no out of pocket cost regardless of insurance status.  Insurances are accepted and billed.

Services are available to all school students, but I am sorry we are unable to provide transportation.  However, parents may transport their children who are not on the campus to Madison High School-Based Health Center for services.  Also, please be aware that a school nurse is available to students.  You will find information about the school nurse on this web page.  Access the school nurse pages for further information.
