Metro Care Connection school based clinic
Cedar Rapids Community School District hosts three school based health centers currently located at Kennedy High School, Jefferson High School, and Metro High School which offer free health care to CRCSD students without access to affordable health care. Each health center is staffed by a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) who has received advanced pediatric education and has been certified and licensed to provide health care to children from birth to 21 years of age. Each nurse practitioner also serves as the school nurse for the building. The services are not intended to replace the role of your health provider.
