Health centers are located inside four Omaha Public Schools (OPS) schools. Services are available to all OPS students, regardless of the school they attend, and students’ siblings under the age of 19 can also receive care at the clinics. Children enrolled in early childhood programs at Head Start, Educare, and Early Child Services’ Network of Excellence can also receive care at SBHCs.

School-Based Health Centers are not intended to replace a child’s regular health care provider, but the clinic’s staff members are available to provide supplemental care. SBHC staff members can diagnose and treat many common conditions (i.e. sore throats, ear infections, headaches, burns, scrapes, sprains and minor wounds), and they can perform school and sports physicals and give immunizations. School-Based Health Centers do not provide emergency services.

If students and their families do not already have primary health care providers, staff members will help them establish OneWorld as their health care home.
