Christus is collaborating with Access Health Louisiana to operate and govern its school-based health center. Access Health Louisiana ranks in the top 20% of all community health centers in the United States for quality according to the Health Resources and Services Administration. The South Grant Elementary School-Based Health Center is located on LA-1241 in Dry Prong, Louisiana. Access Health Louisiana provides both the primary care and behavioral health services for this clinic.

The Nurse Practitioner provides primary care for students including acute care, immunizations, and sports physicals. She works along with the registered nurse. Licensed Clinical Social Worker provides behavioral health counseling at the clinic. She sees students for a variety of reasons including: stress and anger management, anxiety, trauma, depression and bullying. Therapy is offered on an individual or group basis. Students can visit the social worker by going to the health center. The health center staff is supported by a secretary. Parents can also call and request that their child be seen for care. 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.

Co-payments are waived for all students and faculty/staff enrolled at our school-based 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 the 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.
