Prairie City School-Based Community Clinic

About the Clinic

The Prairie City School-Based Health Center (SBHC), located on school grounds, opened in 2024 through a partnership between Community Counseling Solutions, the Grant County Health Department, and the Prairie City School District, with planning that began in 2018 to improve access to healthcare in rural Grant County. The clinic serves students, school staff, and the broader community by providing convenient, accessible care.

A School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is a primary care clinic located on or near school grounds that provides services similar to those found in a doctor’s office, along with health education, outreach, and referrals. In Oregon, SBHCs have supported youth and families since 1986 through community partnerships, helping reduce barriers to care—especially in rural areas like Prairie City—by offering a comfortable setting, convenient access, and earlier care that supports better health outcomes.
