The Wilmington Campus Wellness Center was established especially for teens to help make the best quality health care available in our community more accessible.  Because it is located right in the school, the Wellness Center helps teens overcome many obstacles to receiving good health care-obstacles such as lack of transportation, inconvenient appointment times, or worries about cost and confidentiality.  We offer free medical and emotional health services to supplement health care you already receive in your community.  Our facility is available to all 7th to 12th graders who attend Cab Calloway School of the Arts and Charter School of Wilmington regardless of financial or insurance status.

The Wellness Center is supported by the Division of Public Health and administered by Christiana Care Health System.  Red Clay Consolidated School District has provided us with an office next door to the School Nurses’ office.  The staff consists of a Nurse Practitioner/Coordinator, Physician, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, two Registered Dietitians, and an Administrative Assistant. 

Our goals are to:

• Promote on-going comprehensive health care to students
• Detect signs of emotional stress and psychological problems experienced by our students and provide or refer for mental health services
• Improve students’ knowledge of preventive health care and assist them in developing healthy behaviors.

In order for your child to use the Wellness Center, you will need to complete the Consent and Registration forms.  We cannot provide services to your child unless your signature is on the form.  You select the services you want for your child.  I you do not want a particular service for your child, you may refuse it on the consent form by crossing out that specific service.  This action allows your child to still benefit from the remainder of services offered.
