academic success and lifelong well-being. Schools are recognized in nine health-related topic areas.

“Having the Bobcat Clinic located on the Hope High School campus allows us to better address our students’ needs. The clinic’s staff works closely with the school nurses to ensure students receive the necessary care with minimal disruption to their classroom time.” – Gretchen Carlton, Bobcat Clinic
Coordinator.

and academic needs of their students is nothing short of extraordinary. Their commitment is creating healthier futures for children and communities alike.”
