For Students & Families

Healthy Students are Thriving Students

We also know that it’s not always convenient — or possible — to get an appointment with your pediatrician or primary care when you need it quickly. That’s where SBHC can save the day.

Any Student, Anytime:

All St. Mary’s County students can visit any SBHC

Bonus for MBMS & SRMS:

If your student attends Margaret Brent or Spring Ridge, they can be seen without a parent present (after you give prior consent). Students at other schools will need a parent/guardian to drive them to the SBHC.

Insurance & Fees:

We accept most major insurance. For those without insurance, we offer an affordable, sliding fee scale. 

No patient will be refused for inability to pay.
