SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Students at Sissonville High School will soon be able to hit the books and get a physical all in the same building.

Kanawha County Head Nurse Brenda Isaac says the high school and the Sissonville branch of the Cabin Creek Clinic have signed an agreement to offer a student-based health center.

At first, the clinic will only be opened two days a week, but the school hopes to expand that once the clinic is up and running.

A physician assistant will work closely with the school's nurse to set up appointments.

"The clinic will provide primary care and medical care as needed," Brenda Isaac said.

That means students can get well-child physicals and immunizations.

Students can only participate in the program if their parents sign a permission form.

Isaac says several of the students at Sissonville High School already use the Sissonville branch of the Cabin Creek Clinic.

The school's clinic will accept insurance cards and also help any uninsured students.

The school hopes to open the clinic by the end of October or first of November.
