HSD School-Based Health Centers
Hawthorne School District partners with Venice Family Clinic to provide school-based health centers that improve access to medical care, mental health support, and wellness services for students, families, and the broader Hawthorne community.
By offering care directly at school campuses, these centers make it easier for families to receive important health services close to home and school.
HSD operates two school-based health centers:
