“A Healthy Child Is a Child That’s Ready to Learn”

Students at Hazelwood East and Riverview Gardens high schools will benefit from a partnership with Christian Hospital to create school-based health centers. The health centers aim to increase access to primary and behavioral health care, improve student attendance and academic achievement, and help students improve their health and wellness. Through the financial support of the Christian Hospital Foundation, CARE STL will provide care to students at the health centers.

"A healthy child is a child that’s ready to learn,” says Dr. Scott Spurgeon, Superintendent, Riverview Gardens School District.
