HAMMOND â Health care opportunities are expanding for families with students in the School City of Hammond.
The district entered a new agreement this month with Community HealthNet to extend therapeutic and medical services to all students and staff who enroll in health services in new clinic space to be established in the school district.
Space for a new clinic has been included in the design of the districtâs new Hammond Central High School, expected to open in the fall, and a second clinic will be made available at Morton High School, Hammond Superintendent Scott Miller said.
Telehealth services will be offered to students districtwide, providing opportunity for middle and high school students in the district to seek care.
GARY â Senior Cammay Brown wasn t expecting the news for another couple of weeks when a caravan of cars pulled down her street in east Gary. You won! Legacy Foundation Scholarship Coordinator Jodi Kateiva told Brown in a video call Thursday afternoon. You ve worked so hard and I m super happy your hard work has paid off.
Surrounded by educators from throughout her Gary schools career, Brown was one of six Lake County seniors to learn Thursday that they had received a full-ride Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship. I know it s not one in a million, but that s how it feels, one in a million, especially because I m in Gary and they really don t expect much out of us, but â Brown said, breaking off in tears.
