Peach State Health Plan Scales Georgia School-Based Clinics
A $1.1 million investment from Peach State Health Plan and the Centene Foundation has transformed student access to care across Georgia. By funding 17 school-based health centers, the initiative integrates medical, dental, and behavioral health services directly into the campus environment to bypass traditional barriers like transportation and scheduling conflicts.
Clyde White, President and CEO of Peach State Health Plan, noted that the model prevents health issues from disrupting a student’s academic progress. By equipping clinics with modern telehealth technology and additional staff, the program aims to address local needs through collaborative infrastructure. Duane Kavka, CEO of the Georgia Primary Care Association, credited the success to a long-term strategy of innovation that brings essential services directly to families who might otherwise struggle to access them.
