Does your child need support for their mental and physical health? There will be an open house from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on July 12 at the Newberg Public Schools Health Center featuring a barbecue, ice cream, free diapers, and tours of the site.

The Health Center is on the Newberg High School (NHS) campus, 2400 Douglas Ave., in the K Building, which is next to the tennis courts. Speaking of tennis, fall sports are around the corner. Many appointments to complete a sports physical can be made within a week, if not the same day, at the Health Center.

These services at the Health Center are available courtesy of voters, who approved a bond in 2021. Opening in 2022, the facility is a collaboration of the School District, Providence Medical Center, and Yamhill County. With these partnerships and with voters' support, Newberg-Dundee Public Schools can now provide a welcoming, convenient space for health care for our students and families. (Please note: NHS and Catalyst High School students receive priority scheduling.)

If you want to learn more, view this video, call 971-231-5855, or stop by the open house. If you know a child who needs support with their mental and physical health, attending the open house could be life-changing.
