IN-SCHOOL WELLNESS SERVICE

The Gremlins Wellness Center is a collaboration of the Houghton-Portage Township Schools and Upper Great Lakes Family Health supported through funding form the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). With parental/guardian consent, our Physician Assistant (PA) and Licensed Behavioral Health Provider can provider healthcare conveniently within the Houghton Middle/High School. This allows for ease of access, fewer disruptions of regular routines and less loss of class time. Our goal is to help improve the health and well-being of all students. Healthy students are better equipped for school success.
