Where health and learning meet
W estside Community Schools families now have improved access to health care, following the opening of a new OneWorld School-Based Health Center (SBHC). The clinic is nestled inside the new home of the Hillside Elementary Tigers. The clinic opened in January – offering Westside students, their siblings and staff access to a full range of services. Clinic staff can diagnose and treat common illnesses, minor injuries and wounds, chronic conditions and behavioral health needs. Staff can also provide preventive care services like immunizations, screenings and physicals.

The new Hillside SBHC joins five other such clinics in the metro area and marks a service expansion beyond Omaha Public Schools (OPS).

The Hillside SBHC is open year- round to Westside students and their siblings, as well as staff. OPS families have access to full-service clinics at the following schools: Bryan High, Buena Vista High, Indian Hill Elementary, Liberty Elementary and Spring Lake Elementary.
