School Based Health Clinics in Belen, NM for Local School Families

Sunrise Clinics is expanding its school-based healthcare services to Belen with new clinics planned for Belen High School and La Promesa Elementary. These upcoming locations are being developed specifically for families of students enrolled at the participating schools, giving eligible families a convenient connection to healthcare through their school community. The clinics are expected to begin opening in September. For families looking for school based health clinics in Belen, NM, this expansion brings the Sunrise Clinics model of accessible medical and behavioral healthcare closer to home.

Healthcare Connected to Belen Schools

Sunrise Clinics already operates school-based health centers throughout Northeastern New Mexico, bringing healthcare directly into school settings. According to Sunrise Clinics, these centers provide medical and mental health services during school hours and are designed to promote physical and emotional health. The upcoming Belen locations will extend this approach to families connected to Belen High School and La Promesa Elementary. Our school based health clinics in Belen, NM will give eligible school families another way to connect with the healthcare resources provided by Sunrise Clinics.

Medical Services Designed for Students and Families

Sunrise Clinics' school-based health centers provide more than basic checkups. Services listed by Sunrise Clinics include medical examinations, health assessments and education, sports medicine and sports physicals, treatment for acute and chronic illnesses, and behavioral health services. These services are designed around the healthcare needs of children and teens while helping families maintain continuity of care. Through our school based health clinics in Belen, NM, families connected to the participating schools will have access to this school-based model as the new locations open.

Behavioral Health Is Part of Whole-Person Care

Mental and emotional health are important parts of a student's overall well-being. Sunrise Clinics' behavioral health program offers individualized care that can include individual, family, and group counseling, along with evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy. Integrating behavioral health into the broader Sunrise Clinics system allows primary care providers to make warm referrals when additional support is appropriate. This whole-person approach is an important part of what makes our school based health clinics in Belen, NM more than a place for routine physical healthcare.

Enrollment Helps Families Access School-Based Services

Families should know that Sunrise Clinics' school-based health program requires students to be enrolled before receiving services. Sunrise Clinics states that enrollment forms must be completed and signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the school-based health center. Enrollment forms are available in both English and Spanish. This process helps establish the student's connection to the school-based health program before care begins. As the school-based health clinics in Belen, NM prepare to open, families of eligible students can watch for additional enrollment and opening information from Sunrise Clinics and the participating schools.

Part of Sunrise Clinics' Commitment to Rural New Mexico

The Belen expansion builds on Sunrise Clinics' broader mission of providing accessible, comprehensive, integrated, and compassionate healthcare throughout rural New Mexico. Sunrise Clinics provides medical care, behavioral health services, connected care management, and school-based healthcare, while also offering a discounted sliding fee schedule. The organization states that no one is denied access to services because of an inability to pay. As new school-based health clinics in Belen, NM prepare to open, this expansion continues Sunrise Clinics' effort to reduce barriers and connect families with meaningful healthcare resources.

New School-Based Healthcare Coming to Belen

For families with students at Belen High School or La Promesa Elementary, Sunrise Clinics' upcoming school based health clinics in Belen, NM will create a new connection to medical and behavioral healthcare within the school environment.
