In the Spring of 1999 plans were laid for the School and Family Health Centers in Tipton Hill and Buladean communities. After focus groups lead by the Mitchell Health Partnership it was learned that the community wanted health care for the two isolated community schools.
The School and Family Health Centers are administered by the Bakersville Community Medical Clinic.
These clinics are made possible by the generous support from the Mitchell County Board of Education, Mitchell Health Partnership, and Spruce Pine Community Hospital.
School and Family Health Centers are open to all members of the community. The centers work closley with the schools to offer information, services, and programs best suited to the needs of the students. Classroom programs follow the NC Standard Course of Study guidelines. The centers also work with community members, local health agencies, and the Mitchell Community Health Partnership to serve the needs of the community.
