The Corewell School Based Health Clinic:
- Located at Adams Middle School
- A great resource available to children ages 3 to 21 that live or attend school in Wayne-Westland
- Provides medical services including: sports physicals, well child exams, school and childhood vaccines, hearing and vision screenings, sick visits, as well as mental health counseling
- Clinic accepts all insurances, but no one is ever turned away for the inability to pay
- Have staff trained to assist families apply for Medicaid
- A great option if your student needs back to school vaccines or sports physicals and can't get into their PCP office, have no insurance, or can't pay a copayment
- Appointments are highly recommended. They are open 5 days a week and hours vary
- Call 734-728-2423 to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions.
