PA Laura Fagundes talks with people in the doorway to her office at Denver Health’s new school based clinic called The Pulse at George Washington High School on April 12, 2022 in Denver. This is the latest of Denver Health’s School-based Health Centers at Denver Public Schools. The centers aim to provide medical and behavioral health care services for all Denver Public Schools students who need it both in-person and over the phone. There are 19 Denver Health School-based Health Centers located around the city. Parents must sign an e-consent form online before their students can use any of our services; if the student is 18 years old or older, the student can sign the e-consent themselves. The clinics, which are on campus, offer sports physicals, sick visits, helps students treat chronic health problems like asthma, they offer help with confidential health visits like STD checks, and birth control options, as well as mental health help from specialists.
