Bringing Access to Affordable, Quality Care for York City Students

We’ve opened a student-based health center at William Penn Senior High School in York City!

The new center opened in late September of the 2024-25 school year. We are offering primary medical and behavioral health care to support the students where they already spend most of their time: in school. The center provides a medical home to students, making it more convenient to get their medical care.

School-based health centers like this promote improved health outcomes and health literacy for students and staff who use them. They also correlate with positive education outcomes: students learn better, the attendance rate of students is increased, graduation rates improve, and drop-out rate decrease.

Join us as we make this new center a place of health and wellness for William Penn Senior High School students!

“The School District of the City of York is excited to build upon our decades long partnership with Family First Health to extend to our high school students. Having a health center inside William Penn Senior High School will allow our students to access the health care they need, during the school day, so they can focus on learning.”
