Syracuse Schools are helping immigrant families to learn about health services available in eight sbhcs in the district. Sixteen percent of all students were ELL in 2016. Dr. Carlene Lacy, the director of special programs and outreach for the Syracuse Community Health Center, said that meetings like the one offered by Parent University ensure every child gets necessary health services. “Providing access is probably the most critical thing we can do,” Lacy said. “It’s that notion of whether you go to a person, versus expecting a person to always come to you.”
