How does the School-Based Health Center Work?

Once a parent or guardian completes and submits a consent form, the student is then enrolled. Download or print the consent form.

If the child's primary care provider is not affiliated with the Huntington Health Center, we will work with the child's physician and insurance to coordinate medical care. Enrolled students or their parents/guardians may schedule health service appointments at the School-Based Health Center.

Parent or Guardians are welcome to come with their child and are invited to be present during their child's annual routine exam; a parent is not required to be there.

We will bill insurance companies to help fund the Health Center. We can also help families find out about medical insurance coverage for all children in Massachusetts. Financial assistance is available. No student will be denied service for inability to pay.

The Gateway School-Based Health Center will adhere to all Massachusetts laws including those related to confidentiality of medical services. We will continue to work to bring innovative programs to the Gateway Community through funding from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and special grants.
