The Coos County commissioners recently approved a subcontract with the Waterfall Community Health Center concerning the school-based health center at Marshfield High School.

Oregon Department of Human Services provides funding for the approximately $62,800 contract. The money passes through the Coos County Public Health Department to the center. The department can use up to $6,000 of it to pay for oversight and administrative costs associated with running the center.

No they have an on site health clinic at the harding building. Your kid does have to go through them it's more for the kids that dont have insurance on the kids. They have a nurse at the school and then on certain days they have the waterfall clinic. I believe it's a good thing to have. It gives alot of kids a place to get stuff and everything else they wouldnt have available to them if they didnt have this program

Does that mean the students have to go down to waterfall if they get hurt/sick at school? It would make more sense to have onsite health services. Aren't the parents suppose to have insurance on their kids and what if they don't want their child associated with Waterfall Clinic, like myself. Then what?
