CPF School-Based Health Clinic at Graham-Kapowsin High School
Bethel School District #403
516 176th St E
Spanaway, WA 98387
Amount Requested: $2,050,000.00
The funding would be used to construct a school-based health clinic to support the medical, dental, and behavioral health needs of approximately 3,500 students and staff on the Graham-Kapowsin High School campus, which is co-located with a middle and elementary school.
The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department student survey identified a significant need for these services in this area. The proposed clinic would serve a portion of the Bethel School District and 8th district with limited availability of medical services and 50% free and reduced lunch rate. School-based health centers have been proven to make accessing integrated health care easier for students and their families. And healthier students result in improved student educational outcomes.
