How to use your card
|
|
All participating Macoupin County
pharmacies will take this card
|
|
|
Give the pharmacist your card so that they
can record your information and give your preferred price
|
|
|
You will be asked to pay the discounted
price or the pharmacist's price, whichever is less.
|
Best price assurance
The card gives you the best price for your
medicine on a given day. On some medicines, you may not receive the same
discount every time. This is because your pharmacist was already offering
the lowest price for that drug to his/her customers.

Macoupin County Community Care School-Linked Health Center
Why have a School-Linked Health
Center?
|
|
decrease school absenteeism due
to illness
|
|
|
help students stay healthy and
stay in school by offering health care that addresses all their
needs and is easily accessible
|
|
|
provide health education that can
help in developing healthy habits and reducing risky behaviors
regardless of income or insurance coverage
|
|
|
provide health care by detection
and treatment for physical, emotional, or mental health problems
before they become serious or life-threatening regardless of
income or insurance coverage
|
|
|
increase the quality of the
learning experience by keeping children well and in school
|
|
|
keep children well by promoting
prevention of the health risks through education in the clinic
and school setting
|
How do we meet these goals?
By offering age appropriate
care. Because the Health Center serves only school age
children & adolescents, we are able to concentrate our resources
on the specific and unique concerns of this population.
By providing accessibility.
Because of our affiliation to schools and our relationship to
school nurses, referrals to the Center are done in an efficient
manner. Ill students requiring an office visit and/or
prescriptions can almost always be seen on the same day as
referral. Follow up with the student is enhanced by the
collaboration present between the School-Linked Health Center
and the schools.
By offering affordability.
All health care services provided by the Center are
determined by a sliding fee scale based on total household
income and size. Health services will not be denied based on the
inability to pay.
Who can participate?
All students ages 3 to 19 who
attend school in the Gillespie, Southwestern, or Bunker Hill
school districts are eligible. To receive services, students
need to bring us: a signed parental consent form and medical
card or proof of income for the sliding fee scale. The consent
form can be obtained from your school nurse.
