Jefferson School Based Health Center

Riverdale/Jefferson School Based Health Center is part of one of our 11 school-based health centers Jefferson Parish School District operates. Currently Jefferson is a feeder school to Riverdale with access to behavioral and medical services at Riverdale School Based Health Center behind their campus.  

A school-based health center is a comprehensive healthcare clinic that is housed within a school and provides students with medical and mental health services.  A key benefit of the SBHC is that it keeps students in school and parents at work and reduces emergency room visits.  Consented students of the SBHC can receive services from a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, licensed clinical social worker, or psychiatrist who can diagnose and treat physical or mental illness early and cost effectively.  

In order for a student to receive services, a written or electronic consent must be fully completed by a parent/guardian.  There are no out-of-pocket costs for any student, insured or uninsured.  

All students must have a current consent and enrollment form on file to be seen at the Riverdale/Jefferson School Based Health Center. 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.  Electronic consent forms may also be found on the right-hand side of this webpage through a QR code or links.  Paper consent forms can also be found and printed on the right-hand side of this webpage.

Co-payments are waived for all students enrolled at our SBHC.  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.  Services are given to all students at NO COST.

If you have an emergency outside of school hours, please call 9-1-1.
