As we conclude another month of service at Rockbridge Area Health Center, we want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for our supporters. Every day, donor contributions help us extend care to those who might otherwise go without. In this month’s newsletter, you’ll see the impact of your generosity and some of the many ways RAHC is reaching out to promote health and wellness across our community.
Introducing School-Based Health Centers
Rockbridge Area Health Center is excited to announce the launch of our School-Based Health Center (SBHC) program! We’ve opened two new sites—one at Maury River Middle School and one at Rockbridge County High School—offering medical and behavioral health services. These services complement our in-school dental program, now celebrating its 10th year of service. This initiative is a partnership between RAHC and Rockbridge County Public Schools. Read more here.
Back-to-School Support
As we gear up for the new school year, our mobile units have been busy visiting schools to support athletic physicals and vaccination clinics. We’re committed to ensuring that all students are ready for a healthy school year. Here’s a snapshot of the services provided to students:
