Too Many Children Go Without the Care They Need

For many families in our community, accessing healthcare is more difficult than it should be. During the 2024–25 school year, 8.3% of students in the Iowa City Community School District were uninsured at registration.

Healthy Kids School-Based Clinics serves children and families who often face significant barriers to care, including:

• Children who are uninsured or underinsured

• Families with high deductibles or copays

• Families new to the Iowa City community

• Families who do not speak English as their first language

• Families without reliable transportation

• Parents who work during typical clinic hours

• Parents who do not have paid time off for medical appointments

• Families navigating complex healthcare systems

• Parents facing significant medical or mental health challenges

When children cannot access healthcare, dental care, or mental health services, the effects extend beyond their health. Students may miss school, struggle to focus in class, experience pain or untreated conditions, and fall behind academically and socially.

Healthy Kids School-Based Clinics help remove these barriers by bringing healthcare services closer to where children learn, grow, and thrive.

Healthcare Designed for Students and Families

Healthy Kids School-Based Clinics partners with local schools and healthcare professionals to provide accessible, student-centered care in a safe and welcoming environment.

Primary & Preventative Care

Routine wellness visits, illness care, screenings, early intervention, immunizations, sports physicals, and ongoing support for student health.

Mental & Behavioral Health

Compassionate counseling and mental health support for students navigating stress, anxiety, emotional challenges, and more.

Connecting families with community resources and additional support systems when needed.

Family Support & Resources

Dental Care

Preventive and restorative dental services that help children maintain healthy smiles and avoid pain, infection, and missed school days. Services may include examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, extractions, and referrals for specialized care when needed.

Vision Support

Vision screenings, assistance accessing eye examinations, and support obtaining glasses and other vision resources. Healthy Kids helps connect students and families with services that support both academic success and overall well-being.

When Students Receive Care, Futures Change

Behind every appointment is a child who can focus better in class, a parent who feels relief, and a family that knows they are not facing challenges alone.

Healthy Kids School-Based Clinics help students stay healthier, more confident, and more prepared to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

You Can Help Local Students Thrive

Healthy students are better able to learn, grow, and build strong futures. Community support helps us continue to provide accessible healthcare services for children and families who might otherwise go without care.

Your financial support helps remove barriers, strengthen families, and create healthier futures for students across our community.
