Our Mission

  • Meeting the Needs of Today's Adolescents
     
    The mission of the Smyrna High School Wellness Center is to provide our teenagers with a means of obtaining health services that can be coordinated with each teen’s family physician. The center is structured to meet not only the physical needs of today’s adolescent but also the health education, nutritional, mental and emotional needs. The focus of the Wellness Center is on prevention services with a goal of promoting positive physical and mental health.
     
    Adolescents are typically a medically underserved part of the population. They need a readily accessible source of care that is sensitive to their developmental and emotional needs. The school system is an ideal setting for the delivery of preventive health services. Access to health services on site and education regarding healthy lifestyles should increase school attendance and improve the student’s ability to concentrate in class. 
     
    The services available at the Wellness Center were developed by a Wellness Center Advisory Council comprised of parents, students, faculty, and healthcare providers. Services are provided by Bayhealth Medical Center in partnership with Delaware Health and Social Services Division of Public Health.  All students registered at Smyrna High School, in grades 9-12, are eligible to become a member.  Minor students, under the age of 18, must have parental or legal guardian consent to access services. Each student's parent or legal guardian must sign a Parental Consent Form, complete the Medical History Form and return both to the Wellness Center before the student may receive health care services. Services cannot be provided without a completed consent form.
