Steps to make use of this service
If you would like your child to receive medical services at Ranger Clinic,
please complete and sign the
consent form and return to the main office at Park High School. Students cannot be
seen in the health clinic until a signed consent and health history form
has been returned. Ranger Clinic bills private insurance, Medicaid, and
Healthy Montana Kids. No child is denied services due to inability to
pay. If you have a family medical provider, you can still use the Ranger
Clinic. You may find it convenient for your child to get medical care
at Ranger Clinic if they get sick or injured at school.
