Welcome back for a great school year! Schedule your sports physicals at the Plaquemine High Health Center. Stop by the health center and say hello to Nurse Sanders, Ms. Gordon, Ms. Laneaux & Ms. Robertson!
The Plaquemine High Health Center opened in August of 2017 in Plaquemine, Louisiana. The health center is located on campus in the main school building across from the front office. It serves the student population of Plaquemine High, 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 Medical Assistant 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 Plaquemine High School website.
Nurse Practitioner Brittney Sanders provides primary care services for students including well checks, immunizations, sports physicals, acute and diagnostic services. Mrs. Sanders has more than 11 years of experience working in school-based health. She is assisted by Chiquite Gordon her medical assistant. Ms. Gordon also serves as front desk administrator for the clinic. Licensed Clinical Social Worker Melissa Laneaux offers counseling and support services to students including: stress and anger management, dealing with anxiety, bullying, substance abuse, trauma, grief counseling and communication skills. Students at the Iberville Optional Education Center also receive therapy with the consent of their parent or guardian which helps students with their transition back to school.
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.
