PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS:

The SHC does not have a pharmacy and cannot fill prescriptions written by providers outside the Center. We do have a limited selection of commonly prescribed medications for purchase when prescribed by a SHC provider. If you are taking a medication at home that you will need to refill at school, plan ahead regarding how you will obtain refills. (Medications)
