Kids First Health Care had an amazing time welcoming families back for the 2025-26 school year at 27J Schools’ annual Back-to-School Event today! We enjoyed connecting with so many families, and letting them know about the high quality, integrated health care services that are available to all children in 27J!

Did you know?

This unique opportunity provides Brighton High School students with access to the clinic for medical, mental and dental health care services from inside of the building during the school day – and through state funding, their services are provided at no cost.

Community members with children from birth to 21 can access the clinic from the outside door, which is located at 850 East Egbert St. (between South 8th Ave. and South 9th Ave.).

For patients from the community, the clinic accepts Medicaid, CHP+, private insurance, as well as patients who are uninsured. No child is ever turned away due to a family’s circumstance or ability to pay.
