Clinic 35 - a partner in your child’s health care.

Welcome to Clinic 35! We are a School Based Health Center (SBHC) located inside of East Haven High School. We offer students a range of primary care services, with the convenience of being right at school and at no cost to the student or family. From sick visits to sports physicals, our on-site care team can partner with your child’s regular provider or become their medical home.

Compassionate, high quality and respectful care for your child.

Clinic 35 is part of Fair Haven Community Health Care, a greater New Haven area health leader for 50 years. Clinic 35 is led by a Nurse Practitioner, Mary Patricia Lamberti, DNP, APRN, ANP-BC. Mary Pat has been the face of Clinic 35 since its opening in November 2017.

Receiving care at Clinic 35 will not replace your child’s regular health care clinician but supplements your child’s health care team. We work with the school nurse and your child’s other providers to ensure the best possible care to your child. We take a developmental approach to adolescent health, respecting the age, cultural values, and family life of every student.

East Haven High School is happy to announce a partnership with Community Health Center, Inc. who has opened a School Based Health Center (SBHC) in our building. Attached please find a flyer which describes the services that the SBHC will be providing to our school community, as well as a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ document. Licensed healthcare providers are available to provide expanded medical (treatment for illnesses or injuries, and physicals), behavioral health (individual, group, and family therapy), and dental hygiene (exams, cleanings, and sealants) services. School-based health services work in conjunction with the care provided by your child’s pediatrician and/or dentist and are not intended to replace regular care by your child’s primary health-care provider. Please note that parents/guardians must enroll their student in the program in order for the child to be seen.
