The Bogalusa High School-Based Health Center (SBHC) joined the Access Health Louisiana family during the 2019-2020 school year.  It is located in Washington Parish on the campus of Bogalusa High School.  The 2,000 square foot clinic is easily accessible for middle and high school students because it is centrally located on the second floor of the main building.  Students can visit the health center and parents can request that their child receive immunizations or check-ups by communicating information to the Health Center Director or Nurse Practitioner on staff.  All students must have a current consent and enrollment form on file at the health center in order to be seen by medical staff.  Consent and enrollment forms are sent home at the beginning of the year; however, parents may sign their child up for services at any time during the school year.  You can download copies of both forms from this webpage or obtain a copy through the school office.
