Brewer School-Based Health Centers

All students and staff at Brewer High School and Brewer Community School have access to our School-Based Health Centers, which provide health care services right in school! AOS 47 Students and staff are able to access care the Brewer SBHC as well. Even if your child has a primary care provider elsewhere, he/she can receive immediate and on-site medical, dental, and mental health care at one of our School-Based Health Centers (SBHC). This service is made possible through a program with Penobscot Community Health Care (PCHC). Students do not need to be PCHC patients to use the SBHC in their school. Any student is welcome!
