[LNP | LancasterOnline] Local school-based health center proposes partnership to Columbia Borough School Board

What happened: Alisa Maria Jones, president and CEO of Union Community Care, formerly Lancaster Health Center, presented to the board regarding the possibility of establishing health centers at Park Elementary and the Columbia High/Middle School Hill Campus.

Details: Union Community Care is a federally qualified health center based in Lancaster and Lebanon counties intended to provide affordable primary medical care to underserved communities, such as low-income families and immigrants. More than half of Union Community Care's patients are on Medicaid, while at least a quarter of them are uninsured. Union Community Care currently has school-based health centers at six schools in the county, all of which are within the School District of Lancaster.

Cost: The establishment of the health centers would come at no cost to the district, Keith Ramsey, business manager, said via email after the meeting.
