The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) has announced that three of the ten school based health centers operated under a DPH contract with private provider Optimus Health Care and its subcontractor Southwest Community Health Centers will be operational this week. Those sites include Harding High School, Bassick High School and Dunbar School. Seven additional sites, including Central High School, JFK Campus, Columbus, Luís Muñoz Marín, Blackham, Roosevelt and Read schools, are currently being transitioned to the new operators, and are anticipated to open later in March. During the transition, parents may bring their children who are in need of primary care services to their local community health center, many of which have night and weekend hours. The locations and hours of community health centers operated by Optimus Health Care and Southwest Community Health Center are listed below.
