Choptank Community Health System has expanded its School Based Health Center program into Kent County with a center open at Rock Hall Elementary School. A Choptank Community Health provider will conduct an exam, run diagnostics and even call in a prescription if necessary — all in the school setting. Records will be shared with the child’s pediatrician, and if ongoing care is required, it will be coordinated with the pediatrician.
Medical services include primary healthcare, women’s health, pediatrics, behavioral health, chronic health management and care navigation, with new medical patients now being accepted. Dental services include screenings, cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments and emergency visits. With care once again coordinated with a child’s primary dentist. Other services include health education and risk assessment, sports and other physical exams, dietary support, asthma management and sick or acute care.
All Rock Hall Elementary School students and staff can enroll in the program and utilize the School Based Health Center regardless of their ability to pay. Choptank Community Health accepts most insurance plans and has a sliding fee scale for eligible families without insurance. Enrollment forms are posted below and are available at
www.choptankhealth.org and through the school.
