Delivery conditions

Detailed schedule is not established in the supplied canonical timeline. Timing shown is v1 editorial sequencing, subject to the source gates.

Licensed care delivered by authorized providers with school and health partners — the city convenes and coordinates while licensed providers deliver regulated care; legal review and partner agreements come first.

The problem

For working parents, a child's doctor appointment means lost wages, missed school and a bus across town. Too many kids go without routine care simply because the logistics defeat their families.

The plan

School-based wellness clinics bring real health care into schools — checkups, mental-health support, vaccinations — where kids already spend their days and parents already trust the building.

The city convenes school and health partners; licensed providers deliver the regulated care. This is not city-operated clinical care — it is licensed care made accessible.
