The Comprehensive Care Center is a school-based health care center located on the Riverside High School campus in El Paso.  It operates on a budget of approximately $300,000.  It is funded 88% by the Ysleta I.S.D. and 12% by CDBG (a City of El Paso HUD Community Development Block Grant). During the 2002-03 school year, we will be enlarging our facility to accommodate additional medical examination rooms, a mental health office and a larger waiting area. Funding for this project will be from another CDBG grant awarded in excess of $400,000.

We provide medical, dental and immunization services to students enrolled in the Ysleta ISD.
 

Our staff consists of a registered nurse, a secretary, two clerks and a part-time custodian. All are employees of the Ysleta ISD. We contract with Texas Tech Health Science Center for our pediatric physicians and with private practice dentists and a dental hygienist for dental services. For laboratory services, we contract with our county hospital, R.E. Thomason General Hospital.
