Dehon Health Center
Caring for Your Child’s Health
At St. Joseph’s Indian School, your child’s health and well-being are our priority. Families can count on us for quality health care at no cost, including treatment for everyday illnesses, wellness visits, dental care, vision care and preventive services.

Partnering With Families
Parents and guardians are an important part of every child’s health journey.

A Safe and Supportive Health Center
The Dehon Health and Family Services Center was designed with students’ comfort and care in mind. Connected directly to the school, the facility includes exam rooms, student day-stay rooms, a laboratory, medication room and comfortable waiting areas. Counseling Services are also located within the building, making it easy for students to receive both physical and emotional support in one convenient location.
Every member of our health care team is committed to providing compassionate care, maintaining the privacy of your child’s medical information and creating a safe, welcoming environment where students can thrive.
Therapy Services That Support Your Child
Every child grows and learns in their own way. At St. Joseph’s Indian School, we offer speech and language, occupational, and physical therapy to help your child build the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. These services are part of our whole-child approach to supporting your child’s learning, well-being, and confidence.
If your child has challenges with speech, language, or communication, our speech and language therapists provide personalized support to help them express themselves with confidence. They also work with students who have language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia and dyspraxia.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps your child develop the skills needed for everyday activities. By improving fine motor skills, balance, coordination, and independence, students gain confidence both at school and at home.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy supports students who have developmental delays or are recovering from an injury. Through individualized exercises and activities, therapists help improve strength, flexibility, movement, and coordination so your child can participate more comfortably in daily life.
Our experienced therapy team works closely with teachers, caregivers, and other staff to create personalized goals based on your child’s unique strengths and needs. Every student who receives therapy has an individualized service plan with clear, measurable goals to help track progress and celebrate success.
