Garfield Teen Health Center

Staffed by Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic

The Garfield Teen Health Center (THC) is a safe, confidential place where students from Garfield High School and Seattle Public Schools can receive medical, nutritional services and mental health care. The Teen Health Center promotes how to live healthier lifestyles through education and counseling.

Our goal is to provide quality care that is accessible and convenient for students and their families. Students do not have to change their primary care provider to use school-based health services. Interpretation is always available.

We are a school-based health center run by Seattle Children’s Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic.

Services at the Teen Health Center

Students must be enrolled and have a scheduled appointment before receiving services.

A legal guardian must sign a consent form for each student, for services such as:

• Sports Physical Exam
• Evaluation and treatment of common health concerns (rash, allergies, colds) or chronic concerns (asthma, eczema, ADHD)
• Immunizations
• Well Child (Annual) Exams
• Nutrition Information
• Academic Concerns

Students can consent for themselves in certain cases where confidential services are provided including reproductive health and emotional/mental health services. A Minor Consent will be required and are available in the Garfield Teen Health Center.

Immunizations

As part of the continued effort to keep Garfield and Seattle Public School students safe and healthy, we work closely with the school nurse and guardians to ensure students are up to date with their vaccinations.

Students need to have a full parental consent and a parent-signed Ambulatory Consent Form to receive any school required vaccinations.

Students can visit the THC anytime to make an appointment and may be seen promptly if a provider is available.

Please reach out to the Clinic Coordinator to schedule an appointment. Clinic Coordinators will connect you with one of our Medical Providers.
