Blue Ridge Health has an established partnership with Jackson County Public Schools to provide students with needed health care services at school! Blue Ridge is a non-profit, community-based healthcare organization.
In Jackson County, Blue Ridge Health is able to offer a wide variety of medical services with School-Based Health Centers in Smoky Mountain High and Fairview Elementary, as well as some telehealth appointments at other locations through partnership with the Jackson County Health Department School Nurses.
All registered students have access to complementary nursing assessments and treatment for needs including basic first aid, over-the-counter medication administration (with parent/guardian permission), and basic health education. We also provide urgent care services like assessment and diagnosis of minor injuries and illnesses like Strep and Flu, and we can prescribe medications like antibiotics for acute infections – these visits will be billable to your insurance or sliding-scale
fee schedule.
If you would like your child to receive services at Blue Ridge School-Based Health, please complete our yearly School Health Registration & Permission Form and Patient Agreement & Consent.
Our health centers are open most school days from 7:45am – 3:45pm. Please call us at 828- 233-1685 for any questions or to schedule an appointment.
