It’s the first full week of school..
Thursday was the official first day of school for the Las Cruces School District for all students! Our school-based clinics for Rio Grande Prep Institute and Centennial High School are officially open and accepting patients!
What makes SCHOOL-BASED clinics wonderful for parents, students, and staff alike?
Our school-based clinics functions just like a regular family practice but with the perk of being on Campus. Students and staff have easy access to medical care that is convenient for everyone.
We have a full time Family Nurse Practitioner who can see your child for sick visits, well-child checks, referrals, SPORTS PHYSICALS, or any other concerns you may have regarding your child's health. At our School-based clinics we can prescribe medications (if needed), refer to specialist, order and draw lab work, and order imaging studies when indicated.
What makes this so great and convenient for parents?
As long as we have a parental consent form signed, we can see your child. Parents have the option to be present, but do not have to if we have a parental consent form signed. This means you don’t have to leave work to take your child to an appointment. Of course, we will keep you updated on the plan for your child and parents can be present if they choose.
If your child already has a P*P, just let us know and anything that we do will be faxed to your child’s P*P so they can stay current with your child’s health.
What does this mean for the students?
Students get to spend more time in the classroom and less time away from school. We pull your child from an elective class. After we see your child, we send them back to their class so they can continue with their school day (assuming they don’t have an illness requiring them to go home).
Call 575-525-4811 or 575-525-4813 today to schedule your child’s appointment. We also accept walk-in's!
