Your School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is a partnership between the Marcus Whitman School District and Mosaic Health to help students get medical, behavioral health, and dental services.

Our licensed health professionals work through the SBHC to provide services regardless of insurance status. If you do have insurance, Mosaic Health will bill your insurance. If you don’t, you will still not be billed.

Plus, if your child needs a ride to an appointment, school-sponsored transportation is available for all Marcus Whitman students.

The School-Based Health Center is located at the Marcus Whitman School and you can call for an appointment at (585) 287-8844. If your child is at school, they simply need to see the school nurse to determine if they can take care of the student or if they need to see the SBHC Nurse Practitioner. If you have questions, find out more here.

The Mosaic Health staff includes Jessica Frazo, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner; Kellie Albert, RN; Dr. Melissa Copella, DDS; Kimberly Thompson, Dental Hygienist; Lora Hopkins, Lead Dental Assistant, and Shelli Altopp-Miller, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Here for you even when school’s out

Plus, Mosaic Health provides 24-hour on-call services to all School-Based Health Center patients. So even after hours, you can get the answers you need right now about your child’s health. To reach a provider in the evenings or on weekends, call (585) 554-4400.

Peace of mind about the paperwork

No need to worry when you sign your Consent Form, because doing so:

• Does NOT charge your insurance

• Does NOT mean you have to receive SBHC services. Students can opt out of services.

• Does NOT affect the number of times you can see your medical doctor.

DISCLAIMERS

If your child is sick, please do not send them to school. Call 585-287-8844 for an appointment with the SBHC provider.
