MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — To make health care more accessible to local students and their families, USA Health has launched a new weekly health clinic at LeFlore Magnet High School in Mobile.
According to a USA Health news release, the clinic, which started Monday, Aug. 26, is being conducted by providers from USA Health Adolescent and Young Adult Health.
“By bringing USA Health’s adolescent providers directly to students, we can address health needs more quickly and compassionately, without requiring them to leave campus for a doctor’s appointment,” said Natalie Fox, interim CEO of USA Health.
“This improves access, keeps students in class, and connects them to our academic health system which can mean allowing for earlier detection and treatment of health issues.”
