Corewell Health’s Teen Health Centers have been committed to positively impacting the health of children, adolescents and their families for many years, and the establishment of the newest center marks an exciting first for this life-changing program.
The Detroit Edison Public School Academy is the latest location for an on-site health clinic provided by Corewell Health, and is the first center located within the city of Detroit.
The center is funded in part by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Michigan Department of Education, and is also fully supported by the Whitmer administration. During the official opening of the center on January 12, Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist noted, “There’s no better illustration of caring about the complete success of a young person than putting health resources directly in a place that they are required to go to every day.”
Like all Corewell school-based health centers, the Detroit location is a fully functioning health care facility capable of conducting physicals for school, sports and work; providing care for injuries and illnesses; offering immunizations and treatment for chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes; and providing mental health services including individual and family counseling, crisis intervention and anger management.
The new Detroit location joins the health centers located in the cities of Inkster, Redford, River Rouge, Romulus, Taylor (two locations) and Westland (two locations), all of which strive to provide easy access to quality health care for the youth and families of our communities.
