This afternoon, Sterling Area Health Center celebrated the opening of our Pinconning School-Based Health Center!

Seeing this project to completion was a TEAM effort. We are grateful for the partnership we have with Pinconning Area School District and the crucial role they played in getting the health center open. Thank you also to our SBHC champion in Lansing, Mike Hoadley - State Representative, who continues to support our program, and advocate for access to healthcare in our rural communities.

Additionally, we have amazing support from our partners at CMU Health and Saginaw Valley State University who provide funding and support to our programs to ensure our students have access to additional behavioral health resources. We also have dedicated parents, school board members, and community partner agencies who sit on our Community Advisory Committee and spend countless hours reviewing the SBHC policies and procedures, and ensuring the SBHC program reflects the needs of our community.

Thank you to our local Pinconning leaders who came out to support us today: County Commissioner Kathy Niemiec, Mayor Sheri Boettcher, City Manager Rebecca Lakin, and Clerk Jessica View, and to our SAHC Board Member, Ronda Switek for your support. To our state partners with Michigan Primary Care Association and School-Community Health Alliance of Michigan for coming to support us, and to Molina Healthcare for attending our event and always supporting our programs.

And last but certainly not least, thank you to our students. All the effort put into our SBHC program is for our children and to provide them with the care and resources they need to stay healthy and stay in school. We have amazing young people who sit on our Sterling Teen Advisory Committee and ensure that our programs have THEIR best interests at heart. The best is yet to come!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Our team wore pink yesterday to raise awareness about the importance of breast health and to encourage regular screening.

1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.

Early detection is key! Talk to your SAHC provider about breast cancer screening, including self-exams, clinical exams and mammograms.
