Cherry Health has completed a major renovation of its health center at Union High School, enhancing access to medical, dental, and behavioral health services for students. The 1,950-square-foot facility now includes three exam rooms, a counseling office, and a dental area, funded partly by a state grant. This upgrade aims to support students aged five to 21 regardless of their ability to pay.
Cherry Health announced the completion of a renovated health center at Union High School, creating a more welcoming space for students and families. The project transformed a 1,950-square-foot area into a modern facility with three exam rooms, a behavioral health counseling office, and a dedicated dental section. This design promotes an open environment to encourage better health care utilization on campus.
The renovation received partial funding from a $500,000 grant provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Cherry Health's school-based centers target students from ages five to 21, offering services without regard to payment ability. The initiative seeks to eliminate barriers, allowing students to maintain health and focus on learning.
According to the organization, these centers help keep scholars healthy and prepared for education. For additional details, Cherry Health directs interested parties to its website at cherryhealth.org.
This development comes amid broader efforts to integrate health services into educational settings in Michigan, though specific impacts on Union High School students were not detailed in the announcement.
