MSA Academy East

The MSA Academy East School-Based Health Center is located on the eastbank of Iberville Parish in St. Gabriel, Louisiana.  The health center is located on campus in the main school building down the hall from the main front entrance.  It serves the student population of MSA Academy East, as well as faculty and staff.  Students can visit the health center by scheduling appointments during non-core curriculum class time or during lunch.  Parents can call the health center and request that their child receive immunizations or check-ups by communicating information to the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 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 school year; however, parents may sign their child up at any time during the year.  Copies of the consent and enrollment forms can also be found on the “Health Center” page of the MSA Academy East school website.

Primary Care services include well checks, immunizations, sports physicals, acute, and diagnostic services. Behavioral Health services include counseling and support services to students including  stress and anger management, dealing with anxiety, bullying, substance abuse, trauma, grief counseling and communication skills.

The school-based health center does not replace your child’s pediatrician or outside therapist/psychiatrist. The clinic offers continuity of care for your child during the school day. On your consent form, you will be asked to list contact information for your child’s pediatrician, therapist, psychiatrist, and/or dentist so that our school-based staff can keep them informed of any follow-up your child may need.

Co-pays are waived for all students and faculty/staff enrolled at our health 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 health center.  Any medications prescribed for your child may be filled through our Access Health Louisiana Pharmacy and delivered to your home.  We also work with nearby pharmacies and can have most prescriptions filled at a discounted rate.

Students needing emergency care after school hours, please call 9-1-1.
