School-Based Health Clinic Behind-the-Scenes Tour

Does your Winhawk have an appointment at Winona Health this summer? Did you know you can schedule their follow-up care at a Winona Health School-Based Health Clinic during the school year? Join Dr. Burton for a behind-the-scenes look at our Winona Middle School location. It’s just like a regular clinic visit, with the same billing and insurance process, but right at-school! How convenient is that?

At-school convenience!

Winona Health School-Based Health Clinics provide students with at-school convenience to high-quality healthcare. Located at Jefferson Elementary School, Winona Senior High School, Winona Middle School, and Winona Area Learning Center, Winona Health School-Based Health Clinics can be used just as you would use a clinic visit at Winona Health.

If we have a signed Parent Consent Form on file, we honor the parents’ requests.

Confidential services include pregnancy testing and counseling.
