Come by and Meet our new Nurse Practitioner – Dr. Sherida Jackson!
The Truman School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is one of eleven school health center service sites operated by Access Health Louisiana in Jefferson Parish. It is located in Marrero on the west bank side of the Mississippi River on the campus of Harry S. Truman Elementary.
This year, telemedicine appointments are offered for Primary Care and Behavioral Health services for any student participating in virtual learning from home!
The Truman SBHC is easily accessible for elementary students because it is located on the first floor of the elementary building across from the cafeteria courtyard. Students can visit the health center and parents can request that their child receive immunizations or check-ups by communicating information with the health center 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. Online fillable consent forms are available on the right side of this webpage.
Doctor of Nursing Practice Sherida Jackson offers children and adolescents immunizations, well & sick visits, sports physicals, as well as acute and diagnostic care. Both enjoy working in school-based healthcare. She is assisted by a Registered Nurse. Licensed Professional Counselor Rebecca Green offers counseling and support services for students including: stress and anger management, dealing with anxiety, bullying, substance abuse, grief counseling, and communication. Psychiatric care is available through Dr. Gurjinder Singh of Tulane Psychiatry if needed.
Co-payments are waived for all students and faculty/staff enrolled at our SBHC. 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 health center. Any medications prescribed for your child may be filled through out Access Health Louisiana Pharmacy and delivered to your home. We also work with nearby Walgreens and CVS pharmacies and can have most prescriptions filled at a discounted rate.
Students needing emergency care after hours, please call 9-1-1.

AHL was also awarded an Access Enhancer Award and Health Disparities Award for increasing access and improving health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities. AHL operates the Joshua Butler School-based Health Center.
"Access Health Louisiana and Jefferson Parish Schools is a partnership that supports students' physical and behavioral health needs which enables students to be prepared to succeed academically, emotionally and socially. It enables students to learn how to take charge of their own physical and mental health in order to become productive citizens. This partnership enables Jefferson Parish Schools to keep students in school and parents at work! Thank you Access health Louisiana for all you do for our students!"
Edna Metcalf, LCSW-BACS Executive Director of Health & Student Services, Jefferson Parish School District
