About this clinic

NorthShore Health Centers has opened a School Based Health Center at Thomas A. Edison Jr./Sr. High School. NorthShore’s school-based health center provides comprehensive preventive and primary healthcare services to students for Lake Station Schools during the school day. NorthShore/Edison High School Health Center will provide services to students throughout the Lake Station School District. Students who are ill during the school day, need immunizations, sports physicals, or have other health concerns, can be treated during the school day. Patience Tieri, FNP, a Family Nurse Practitioner is available to provide medical care, minor lab testing and medications as required to treat the Lake Station students who may need these services. In addition, teachers or other school staff who need to be seen during work hours will have access to health care. This service does not replace the school nurse, but allows the Nurse Practitioner, School Nurse, coaches, counselors, classroom teachers, and school principals and their staff to ensure the best possible services are provided to each and every student at Lake Station Schools. Written consents signed by parents are required for students before services can be provided by NorthShore/Edison High School Health Center. Some of the services include rapid strep testing, treatment for pink eye, head lice, acne treatment, sports physicals, assessing and treating injuries and illnesses. The employees of Lake Station and their families are also able to utilize NorthShore’s School Based Health Center during Edison’s school hours. If a patient needs a prescription, the Nurse Practitioner can electronically prescribe the medication to NorthShore Pharmacy for quick pharmacy service. The Health Center will also provide services to River Forest School Children if they are brought to the health center by a parent.

Common Questions About Free and Low-Cost Clinics

General guidance for visitors. It is not medical advice and it does not describe NorthShore Edison Junior- Senior High School's current policy — call the clinic to confirm anything below.

Is this clinic actually free?
Often not entirely. "Free clinic" usually means one of three things: a volunteer clinic with no charge, a community health center with a sliding fee scale based on household size and income, or a clinic that charges a small flat visit fee. A sliding scale can still leave a bill. Ask what the lowest tier costs before you book.
What if I have no income at all?
Most sliding-scale programs have a lowest tier for people with no income, and many accept a signed self-declaration when you have no pay stubs to show. Ask for the clinic's discount program by name and ask what proof they take. Being told "bring proof of income" does not mean you are turned away for having none.
What should I bring to a first visit?
Usually a photo ID, something showing your address, proof of income or a self-declaration, your insurance or Medicaid card if you have one, and a written list of your current medications and doses. Call ahead — requirements vary, and arriving without the right paperwork is the most common reason a first visit gets rescheduled.
Do I need insurance, or immigration documents?
Federally funded health centers serve patients regardless of insurance status and do not require proof of citizenship to provide care. Volunteer and charitable clinics set their own rules. If it matters to you, ask before your visit what they require and what they record.
Is dental care included?
Usually not, and this is the single most common disappointment. Dental is frequently a separate program with its own eligibility, its own waiting list, and a narrower service list — extractions and urgent pain may be covered while fillings, crowns, root canals, and dentures are not. Confirm that dental is offered at this specific location before travelling.
Can I get a prescription refilled here?
Most clinics require an appointment before they will refill anything, and a first appointment can be weeks out. If you are close to running out of a medication you cannot safely stop, say so when you call — say the medication name and how many days you have left. Ask your pharmacy at the same time; pharmacists can sometimes authorise a short emergency supply.
What if I need care today?
This directory cannot arrange care or pass a message to a clinic. For a medical emergency call 911. For a mental health or suicidal crisis call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). For something urgent but not an emergency, an urgent care clinic or a hospital emergency department must evaluate you regardless of ability to pay.
