Licking Memorial Health Center at NCS

Welcome to the Licking Memorial Health Center at Newark City Schools

Licking Memorial Health Systems (LMHS) and the Newark City School District are partnering to ensure that students, families, and staff members have convenient access to healthcare. LMHS has provided the financial and staffing investments needed to create a Health Center at a district property. Students from preschool to 12th grade can receive treatment with parent permission. NCS staff, families of students, and community members also may receive care at the Licking Memorial Health Center.

The Health Center is located at the former Woodside Elementary School building and former home of NCS Digital, at 255 Woods Avenue. The building is shared with the Wildcat Cupboard, a food pantry designed to serve students and their families, in partnership with Coalition of Care and the Licking County Food Pantry.

A wide variety of insurance plans are accepted, including Medicare and Medicaid. Same-day appointments are usually available, but please note that our students and staff take priority in scheduling.

Entering the Health Center

The entrance to the Health Center is located via the parking lot off of 11th Street.

 

Services Offered

Health services at the Licking Memorial Health Center at Newark City Schools focus on preventative care and include treatment for common illnesses. Services include athletic physicals and required vaccinations for school.

There is no cost to the district for the Health Center, as LMHS financed the project and provided all necessary staff. The center does not replace school-based health clinics or school nursing staff, but works cooperatively with them to handle basic diagnostic and treatment needs.
