List of CPS’ School-based Health Centers

Who Needs Consent?

Parents/Guardians (or the student themselves if legally an adult) must sign a consent form for their student to receive medical, dental, vision, and other health services at a school-based health center. Services will not be provided without this signed consent.

What Consent Covers?

Typical health services included:

Routine medical care (well-child exams, sick visits)
Sports/work physicals
Immunizations and screenings
Treatment for illness or injury
Dental services
Vision services
Medication administration
Other basic healthcare services offered by the SBHC

How Long Consent Lasts?

In the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) model, consent for School-Based Health Center (SBHC) services is generally valid until it is revoked in writing. Once a parent or guardian signs a consent form, that consent remains active for as long as the student is enrolled in CPS and receiving care from the same SBHC provider operator. Each CPS SBHC is overseen by one designated provider operator. These
operators include:

WinMed
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
Cincinnati Health Department
Mercy Health

If a student changes schools within CPS and the new school’s SBHC is overseen by the same provider operator, a new consent form is not required.
However, if a student transfers to a CPS school whose SBHC is overseen by a different provider operator, the parent or guardian must complete a new consent form specific to that provider.
Parents or guardians may withdraw or revoke consent at any time by submitting a written request to the SBHC or provider operator.
