Greenville Health System: School-Based Health Centers

The United Way of Greenville County (UWGC) received a 2014 Social Innovation Fund (SIF) grant to support the implementation of the OnTrack Greenville initiative, a collective impact dropout-prevention program for middle grade students. Greenville Health System (now known as Prisma Health – Upstate) is a subgrantee of UWGC that implemented School-Based Health Centers (SBHC). These SBHCs were integrated into existing school health room frameworks to provide a variety of medical services not otherwise available in schools.
