Since 2016, FCSD students, staff, families, and community members have had access to a school-based health center in partnership with Primary Health Solutions. It has resulted in improved community wellness through access to quality, affordable care. The center provides medical, dental (in-house and through a new mobile unit), vision, and behavioral health care. The benefits are paying off - kids have access to care during the school day, transportation is provided, and various insurance and sliding scale fees are accepted. Millions of dollars in donations helped open the center and now support its operations, according to Matt Crapo, FCSD Director of Student Services. It is located in the building shared with the Academy and has eliminated barriers that keep our students healthy and ready to learn. It provides year-round care and transportation for students, thanks to the FCSD, Primary Health Solutions, Lindenwald Kiwanis Club, and the Fairfield Community Foundation. The center has experienced a significant increase in the number of transports and visits. For example, during the 2016-17 school year, 378 students were transported. That number has grown to 1,147 transports in the 2024-2025 school year. So far, the clinic and mobile van have had 2,911 total visits!
