The Duke University Health System's school-based clinics increase student access to primary care, respond to immediate health needs, and preempt adverse health and educational outcomes, including student absences from school, unnecessary use of the emergency department, missed parental work hours and inadequate care. School-based clinics provide urgent as well as ongoing care for chronic conditions. They also offer a relationship that children often lack – a continuing relationship with a health care provider.
