Aurora school-based health centers

Aurora health care provides nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants and community health workers to 15 schools in the Milwaukee area, most of them Milwaukee Public Schools. there are 10,000 children attending these schools. the Aurora professionals treat children, teach healthy lifestyles and connect young people to other health and wellness resources.

For many of our children, medical attention is inaccessible because their parents don't have insurance. Having a nurse in my building is a blessing, both for the children and the families. Healthier students don't miss time in the classroom. Aurora Health Care and its nurses are valued partners with our school community.
