Abstract
In the spring of 2020, schools were forced to close due to COVID-19, the School-Based Health Centers (SBHC) . Many SBHC's adapted to telehealth to continue providing services to the students. Studies have demonstrated the health and educational benefits of SBHC's. Loyola University operates a SBHC at Proviso East High School (PEHS) in Maywood, Illinois to provide an array of services. We analyzed patterns of PEHS students in their use of the SBHC prior, during, and after quarantine to provide an insight of the additional services and support that is needed.
