Overview
Mission
Health centers in schools delivers innovative, quality cost-effective school-based health service for children in the greater baton rouge area.
What it reported doing in 2024
For over 6,611 public school students, hcs ensured that students had access to quality health services by operating 7 health clinics and providing school nursing services to 3 schools throughout the parish. These professionals logged 12,016 student encounters. Those encounters included vision screening, hearing screening, school-nurse and health center visits, individual health assessments and plans, flu vaccines, dilated eye exams, and dental care. Mental health services were available at all 7 health centers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 62% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
