We bring together primary care, dental services, and mental health support under one roof — because a child's well-being isn't made of separate parts.
Routine check-ups, illness and injury treatment, prescription management, and preventive care for students of all ages — from kindergarten through high school.
Complete oral health care including cleanings, fillings, exams, and referrals — because a healthy smile is the foundation of a healthy child.
Counseling, crisis intervention, and emotional support from licensed therapists — creating a safe space for students to process, grow, and thrive.
Workshops and health literacy programs for students, parents, and staff — empowering our community with knowledge to make informed health decisions.
Health services extend beyond students to include family members — because when a family is healthy, every child has a stronger foundation to learn from.
Collaborative programs with PS 24 faculty and staff — integrating health into the learning environment so students can focus on what matters most.
PS 24 School-Based Health Center has been a cornerstone of wellness in the Bay Ridge neighborhood for over two decades. Located within the PS 24 campus on 38th Street, we exist to remove the barriers that keep children and families from getting the care they need.
Our model is straightforward: bring full-spectrum health services directly into the school environment. A student shouldn't have to miss class, miss work, or navigate a maze of referrals just to see a doctor. Here, care meets the community — at the doorstep.
We serve students of all ages enrolled at PS 24 and their families. No insurance? No problem. No fixed address? We work with you. Our doors are open, our services are free, and our commitment to every person who walks through them is unwavering.

Every interaction is guided by empathy and respect.
Inclusive Care
No one turned away — regardless of insurance or status.
Community-Driven
Programs shaped by the needs of Bay Ridge families.
Excellence
Licensed professionals delivering the highest standard.
"We believe that health is not a privilege reserved for those who can navigate complexity — it is a right, and it should be as accessible as the classroom itself."
PS 24 School-Based Health Center was founded on a simple conviction: when a child is healthy, they can learn. When a family is supported, they can thrive. We are here to ensure no student faces a health barrier alone.
Bay Ridge is a vibrant, diverse neighborhood on the western edge of Brooklyn. Our health center is proudly embedded within this community — a place where neighbors care for neighbors.
