The J.B. Martin/R.J. Vial Wellness Center opened in 2015 in Paradis, Louisiana. The wellness center is located on campus and services the students and staff of J.B. Martin Middle and R.J. Vial Elementary School. Students are escorted to the wellness center from their classrooms by either the school nurse or our Medical Assistant Hillary Simmons. To be seen at the clinic, parents must complete a consent and enrollment and submit it to the wellness center. Consent and enrollment forms are sent home with the students at the start of the school year; however, parents may sign their child up at any time during the year. Copies of these forms may be found on the right side of this webpage. Please remember that children who do not have consent forms on file cannot be seen by the clinic. Telemedicine services are also being offered this school year to assist students taking advantage of virtual learning from home.
Nurse Practitioner Michelle Babin provides primary care services for children including well checks, immunizations, sports physicals, acute and diagnostic services. Mrs. Babin is assisted by Hillary Simmons who also serves as our front desk administrator. Licensed Professional Counselor Kerry Nesbit offers counseling and support services to students including: stress and anger management, dealing with anxiety, bullying, substance abuse, grief counseling and communication.
Co-pays are waived for all students and faculty/staff enrolled at our wellness center. Commercial insurances including Medicaid and Medicare are accepted. Students who are uninsured can also receive care with a consent and enrollment form on file with the wellness center. Any medications prescribed for your child may be filled through our Access Health Louisiana Pharmacy and delivered to your home the next day for free.
Students needing emergency care after school hours, please call 9-1-1. You can also visit our nearby St. Charles Community Health Center located at 843 Milling Avenue in Luling Monday-Thursdays 8 am until 4:30 and on Friday and Saturday from 8am-noon.

"The Wellness Center has become a huge asset for our students as well as our staff. The Wellness Center prevents parents from having to take time off of work to take their child to the primary care physician for wellness checks, immunizations or acute illnesses. In return, student attendance it not negatively impacted and students can return to class quickly for learning. The Wellness Center staff genuinely cares for the well-being of the children and has become an integral part of our daily operations and the services we provide for our students."
Angelle Babin - Executive Director of Elementary Schools for St. Charles Parish School District
