• Ripley School-Based Health Services

    2025-2026
  • Hello BlueJays!  

     We are so excited to be starting our sixth year, offering school-based health services for RULH families.  We welcome you and your child to be part of our PrimaryPlus-Ripley School Based Health Center.  Our sites offer students, parents, faculty, and the entire community access to primary care and counseling services.  PrimaryPlus is a Federally Qualified Health Center with over thirteen service locations throughout the region.  Our health center operates year-round and during the school year we are readily available to care for your child(ren) during school hours (upon completion of consents and medical history).  Parents/Guardians are always welcome at the appointments but are not required to be present as long as we have received consents and medical history.

    Consent packets are for school-based Primary Care/Telemedicine ONLY. Counseling Services are referral based OR a parent/guardian can call to schedule for this service. Note:  All dental services at Ripley have been paused, as we work to recruit a new dentist.

    About School-Based Medical Services:  Family Health Nurse Practitioner, Carissa Kirk, APRN, provides family health services at PrimaryPlus-Ripley.  School-based services are designed to be an added resource to parents and IS NOT designed to replace your child’s pediatrician or routine medical provider—although we are happy to establish care with you if you or child does not have a routine medical provider.   As a school-based health center, the goal is to provide a convenient, quality healthcare evaluation upon parental consent when your child has any minor sickness such as earache, throat infection, eye infection, skin irritation, cold, runny nose, etc.  Parents/guardians can be included in a telehealth visit of their child’s appointment upon request or are welcome to be in-person for the visit.  

    Consent for School-Based Services:  Attached are the consent forms for the 2025-2026 school-based services.  Parents/guardians may select which services they would like their child to participate. Note: If the student is already a patient of PrimaryPlus, they will STILL need to complete the forms because school-based services require added information and must be completed once a year—so last year’s consent forms are no longer valid. 

    This partnership is geared towards ensuring happy, healthy kids and creating access to quality care for families of the region!  You can find a list of frequently asked questions regarding school-based health and the PrimaryPlus Notice of Privacy and HIPAA Practices on the school website or at www.primaryplus.net.  Please feel free to contact the PrimaryPlus-Ripley team at 937-744-4343 if you have any questions.  Our office hours are Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm.  

    Many Well Wishes for a Great School Year,

    The PrimaryPlus Team
