Wellness Center

 

Welcome to Baldy View ROP’s Wellness Center!

 

There is nothing more basic to a child’s ability to succeed in school and in life than good health. Yet many children and youth in California do not get the health care they need, even when they do have health insurance. This inability to access care results in many children and youth coming to school every day suffering from conditions that seriously impact their ability to learn and succeed. The BVROP Wellness Center aims to improve the lives of our children because we place a breadth of essential services in exactly the right environment – our school. 


 

The BVROP Wellness Center can influence academic achievement by improving mental health, diet, injuries, physical illness, self-esteem/resiliency, and health care utilization. Based on research showing a positive impact of school health centers on graduation rates, absences, grade promotion, withdrawal/dropout rates, disciplinary problems, failing grades and tardiness, we believe that The BVROP Wellness Center will have lasting positive effects on our students.
