New school-based
health center opens
Facility is open to
students, school staff
By Angel Carpenter
Blue Mountain Eagle
JOHN DAY – There’s
another health care op-
tion now for Grant County
school-age students.
A new school-based
health center was unveiled
at an open house May 7.
While located at Grant
Union Junior-Senior High
School, the facility is open
to all Grant County elemen-
tary through high school-
aged students and school
faculty and staff members.
Several of the Grant
County Health Department
medical staff were on hand
to give tours of the on-cam-
pus office and answer ques-
tions.
Registered nurse Lindsay
Maghan is the school-based
health center coordinator.
She said Karen Triplett,
family nurse practitioner for
the Health Department, will
see patients at the school fa-
cility for primary care ser-
vices.
The new office includes
a waiting room, an exam
room, and a multipurpose
exam room which includes
dental and behavioral health
services – limited dental
services will be available
in the 2016-17 school year.
There is also a bathroom
and a room for storing vac-
cinations.
“Our goal is to work in
partnership in the school
and with families to provide
comprehensive health ser-
vices regardless of ability to
pay,” Maghan said.
She said having a cen-
ter on campus helps reduce
student and school staff ab-
sences – “studies show an
increase in school perfor-
mance for students.”
The center is located
on the north side of Grant
Union’s main building, near
the modular classrooms.
Maghan said the center
also will make it possible to
apply for grants for projects
such as a planned anti-bul-
lying campaign.
The facility opened May
12.
Jessica Winegar succeeds
Maghan as the new Health
Department manager.
Maghan
said
she’s
pleased to see Winegar in
the job.
“She’s already a great
asset to the agency as well
as our community,” Maghan
said. “I look forward to
watching her carry forth the
projects that will improve
the health of Grant County.”
Other staff include regis-
tered nurse Nancy Jimenez
and medical assistant Jordin
Cowdrey.
Maghan is leaving the
area in July to start work as
a provider at Serenity Lane
in Eugene. While excited
about the new health center,
she said she’s also looking
forward to her new job op-
portunity.
Appointments at the
health center may be
scheduled by calling the
health department at 541-
575-0429. Hours at the
school are 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Thursdays.
