Expanding School-Based Health Services for Students and the Community

All Care Health Center is proud to expand access to school-based behavioral health services directly inside school buildings. These vital services include medication management, ensuring students can access comprehensive care where they need it most.

This fall, behavioral health services were launched at Thomas Jefferson High School, quickly filling schedules and highlighting the significant need for accessible mental health care among students. Beginning this semester, students at Kirn Middle School will also benefit from in-school behavioral health services, further extending care to young people across the community. Parents who would like their child to be served by this service should contact Keri Zimmer, Coordinator of Social and Emotional Wellness for the Council Bluffs Community School District. 

In addition to behavioral health, primary medical care is available at six school campuses throughout Council Bluffs: Carter Lake Elementary, Thomas Jefferson High School, Abraham Lincoln, Kanesville Learning Center, Kirn Middle School, and Wilson Middle School. These services are open to anyone in need of healthcare, not just students, and are made possible through All Care’s partnership with the Council Bluffs Community School District. By offering care at multiple school sites across town, All Care brings critical healthcare services closer to neighborhoods, increasing access for families and reducing barriers such as transportation and the limited time off for working parents.

For those seeking same-day medical appointments, or scheduled appointments, appointments can be made by calling All Care Health Center at (712) 325-1990. 

Providing healthcare for students while they are in school ensures that families can save time and avoid disruptions to their workday while children and teens receive the care they need to thrive academically and emotionally. By meeting students where they are, All Care removes barriers to care, supports mental and physical well-being, and helps foster healthier, more resilient classrooms and school communities.
