A new health clinic called Bluebonnet Trails opened at Hutto High School in August.
The clinic offers family practice coverage, and will provide basic medical care, including immunizations for children, adolescents and adults said Emily Parks, HISD public information officer.
The clinic is open to HISD students and staff and their families. It accepts Medicaid and will immunize students without insurance. The clinic is also part of Bluebonnet Trails MHMR and will provide mental health services, Parks said.
"The benefit here is that [the clinic] is at the school, so it helps us provide care for the child while they are at school rather than a parent having to take them out of school drive all the way to Round Rock or go somewhere else to go to a doctor," Parks said.
The Bluebonnet Trails clinic replaces a Lone Star Circle of Care clinic that closed at Hutto High School at the end of the 2013–14 academic year.
