Union Community Care adds 3 new school-based health centers!

Welcome to our 3 newest school-based health centers

Union Community Care now offers you the opportunity to be seen at our Lancaster Carter & MacRae Elementary School-Based Health Center, Lancaster George Washington Elementary School Based-Health Center, and at our Lancaster JP McCaskey High School-Based Health Center. This means there is now a total of six school-based health centers in Lancaster adding to Lancaster Reynolds Middle School-Based Health Center, La Academia Charter School-Based health Center, and Lancaster Fulton Elementary School-Based Health Center.

Since 2016, Union Community Care has built the capacity to successfully partner with school administration, school boards, and families to ensure school-based health care is integrated fully into the schools and supported by administration and families. School-based health care services provided by Union Community Care include sick visits, well child checks, medication management, chronic disease management, physicals, diet & nutrition, well adult visits, social support, dental screenings, and behavioral/mental health support.

Union Community Care is uniquely positioned as a Community Health Center to continue school-based health care within the SDOL, bringing expanded healthcare services and a payment model that keeps services affordable to students, staff, their families, and the community. Union Community Care accepts all insurances, provides payment plans, and offers a Sliding Free Discount Program for medical & preventive dental services provided at our centers for those who have insurance, are under-insured, or are uninsured.

By opening more doors for care, we can provide even more affordable, available, and seamlessly coordinated health services to School District of Lancaster students, staff, and the community.
