The VNA Health Center at the Jeff Craig Family Resource Center is a collaboration between VNA Health Care and West Aurora School District 129.
Great Care for Students and Convenient for Parents
This School-Linked Health Center is a dedicated place of healthcare support for all SD129 students. It offers important and convenient primary care health services in one convenient location, including minor illness and injury care, checkups and vaccinations, school and sports physicals, and counseling services. VNA also provides referrals for off-site services such as vision, dental, and family counseling, and to community organizations that assist with food, housing, and other necessities.
VNA accepts Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, and uninsured patients. No fees are due at the time of service. No student will be turned away for an inability to pay.
Students get quality, affordable health care during the school day, reducing school absences and the need for parents to take time away from work. VNA can also communicate with your student’s regular doctor, if applicable.
By removing as many barriers as possible, we can ensure students have what they need to focus on their education in the classroom.
