Mount Sinai School Health Program

The Mount Sinai School Health Program helps children and youth in East Harlem access the care they need to prevent and treat illness. As health care providers, we understand how hard it can be for busy parents to manage their child’s schedule and various commitments, along with their health care needs. We also know that healthier kids are better learners.  That is why we strive to help families keep their children healthy by bringing first-class health care services to schools, offering convenience and ease.

Located on the border of East Harlem, The Mount Sinai Hospital is conveniently located, allowing us to share our resources with our community. Since 1983, the Mount Sinai School Health Program has partnered with the East Harlem public schools to deliver comprehensive primary care, mental health care, and preventative services to students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. We bring together a caring team of licensed doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, social workers, health educators, medical assistants, and health coordinators.

Your School-Based Health Center does not replace your child’s primary care physician. Instead, the program adds to the care already provided by your child’s primary care physician.

Students can be referred to The Mount Sinai Hospital, one of the nation’s top teaching and research hospitals, for specialty care and other services not provided at their school-based health center.
