Goal and Purpose of SM Health & Wellness Center
The SM Health & Wellness Center is available to all employees, spouses and dependents on the district's insurance plan. The SM Health & Wellness Center offers many services including no cost visits, no cost prescriptions, first-aid, wellness programs, physicals, chronic condition management, coordination with your primary care physician, diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions, among others.
The School District of South Milwaukee is self-funded for insurance. This means that the district and employees pay a premium share amount each month into a fund. That fund is then used to pay the actual providers of healthcare to our employees and their families. So, the more effective we are as users of healthcare, the lower the costs are to employees and the district.
Having an onsite provider, as we do in the SM Health & Wellness Center, is more cost effective for many routine visits. The visits may also be more personalized as Kajal Malkan (our physician assistant) does not have such a large patient load as many providers and therefore the visits are less rushed and allow for more personalized care in the SM Health & Wellness Center. The SM Health & Wellness Center is also able to dispense many common prescription medications to you, saving you time and avoiding costs. All of your interactions with the SM Health & Wellness Center are at no cost to you. You may continue to see your primary care physician or specialists for any visits that meet your needs.
