JACKSON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Jackson Public Schools (JPS) and South Delta students can get health care at school thanks to the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) School of Nursing’s school-based clinics, even during summer break.

According to officials with UMMC, the students can get access to health care this summer through the School of Nursing’s mobile clinic, which is traveling to the schools where the School of Nursing operates clinics. The summer program is funded through a $75,000 grant from Molina.

“At Molina, we are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of individuals across the state,” said Bridget Galatas, plan president of Molina Healthcare of Mississippi. “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Nursing in providing families across the Jackson and the Mississippi Delta regions with access to critical health care services during the summer months when school-based clinics are closed.”

The mobile clinic will be at Lanier High in Jackson every Monday this summer, and at Johnson Elementary on Tuesdays in June. On Tuesdays in July, the mobile clinic will be parked at Galloway Elementary. It will be serving the South Delta School District on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Mobile clinic hours are 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
