Pennsylvania HB1376 establishes school-based health centers in public, private, and parochial schools.
Pennsylvania HB1376 amends the Public School Code to create school-based health centers in public, private, and parochial schools. These centers will provide primary health services, including health education, comprehensive assessments, referrals, and crisis intervention. The bill mandates that centers be open during school hours, cannot turn away students for inability to pay, and must coordinate with students' primary health care providers. The Department of Health will collect data on these centers, including demographic and utilization statistics, and may research certification.
