This facility class has many names but is similar in our approach to them: the settings that provide primary care in a visible, central service.  After the chapel, the library, the kitchen and the classroom, the on-campus medical center is a central fixture.  These clinics typically provide basic medical services primarily aimed at addressing the immediate health needs of students and sometimes staff.   These clinics are often staffed by a nurse or a small team of healthcare professionals such as nurse practitioners or physician assistants.

• Services may include first aid, basic medical care (such as treating minor injuries and illnesses), immunizations, health screenings, and sometimes mental health counseling.
• These clinics are often staffed by a nurse or a small team of healthcare professionals such as nurse practitioners or physician assistants. In some cases, a physician may be available on a part-time basis.
• These clinics are usually small and may be located within or near the school premises. They typically have limited space and equipment compared to hospitals.

Access to school-based clinics is often limited to students and staff during school hours. They may not be open during weekends, holidays, or outside of regular school hours.
