Headline News: PointClickCare use by school-based partners to support youth mental health

Last year, HIT Commons used strategic investment funds to support the first school district in the country to adopt PointClickCare (PCC) to better address behavioral health needs of their school-aged population. Centennial School District in Gresham/Southeast Portland went live on the network in November 2024, with support from the Multnomah Educational Services District (MESD). MESD employs nurses and other healthcare providers who work in schools and offer supplemental services to help youth and their families. They provide a critical link between health and school for youth with physical and/or behavioral health needs.
