"...As most of our students come from low-income families, the School Health Clinic is their primary, and often only, link to receiving health care. The caring staff are dedicated to providing an exceptional level of care in a convenient and safe environment.” - Larry Aceves, Former Superintendent Franklin-McKinley School District
