The response was strong support for establishing a SBHC. We were invited to talk with Quilcene School District Board and the Board asked us to proceed with the process. Since JCPH has SBHCs in the Port Townsend and Chimacum School Districts we have drawn upon that past experience to plan for the creation of a new SBHC in Quilcene. One of the elements important to this project is to ensure that the residents of the Quilcene and Brinnon areas have an opportunity to ask questions, provide input and understand what a SBHC does and can provide. g9E r C__v-vvw✓t`i c �,e.-S '.S c�.t.� 'Q c xv v ,.� , Cmv r- 041 �� trr it w'i T t1- ,� �y��ceait 3 . y,g, ( We r� (:),y w �, ` c.�� r wya pt`�nt � i r-dI ,-e. � c R-b�t,, -(ea.Ltta plc + icer new SJ- ( �!-F�cIt C�L.nt� �" Qv lcev�. ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PRO'S and CON'S: The Quilcene School District applied for and received a grant from OSPI to assist us in our costs associated with community outreach and other necessary items and steps needed to prepare for community meetings, work with Superintendent Frank Redmon, and Principal Sean Moss and get ready to open a SBHC. They have committed to remodeling a classroom for the clinic room and staff have been meeting all along regarding the clinic specifications. Jefferson Health Care has donated some equipment and committed additional funding to support the clinic once it is up and running. Community meetings are being scheduled. A soft opening is in development and a plan for providing sports physicals as the introduction to the SBHC is in the works. Substantial work is involved in establishing the clinic. Once the preparatory work in the community is done, the Quilcene School Board will make a final decision regarding opening a SBHC in the Quilcene School District.
