What is the Bethel Health Center

The Bethel Health Center is a small medical clinic located in a school setting, Cascade Middle School, with its own outside main entrance on the north side of the school. Physical and preventive health services are provided to youth and adolescents, regardless of their ability to pay or their insurance status. The Health Center is a type of health care safety net and usually sees children who otherwise would not be able to access medical care. There are similar student health centers in dozens of Oregon schools, all of which are certified by the Oregon Department of Human Services, Public Health Division.
