STILLMAN VALLEY – Meridian CUSD 223 has partnered with Crusader Community Health to increase accessibility of medical care to its students.

Students whose parents wish for them to receive services will be seen at Crusader’s School Based-Health Center at Auburn High School for appointments during the school day, and transportation will be provided by the district.

“Crusader is thrilled to collaborate with Meridian School District, said Jenifer Licon, pediatric manager for Crusader. “The team at our School-Based Health Center at Auburn High School is excited to meet the students. Our initial focus will be to offer school physicals and immunizations for students; however, we are also able to provide comprehensive care to those students in need.”

Crusader Community Health Auburn Campus offers medical, dental, vision and behavioral care. Staff members also provide nutritional and wellness education. Professionals at this facility encourage students to improve their overall health and wellness through screenings and disease prevention.

If families in the school district are interested in this service, they are encouraged to contact their student’s school nurse for more information.
