Port Richmond High School's Health & Wellness Center is run by Staten Island University Hospital/Northwell Health and is part of the Division of Adolescent Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics. The Heath Center is staffed by an interdisciplinary team of licensed professionals consisting of medical and mental health providers.

Students can use the School Health & Wellness Center and see their family doctors as well. Completing and signing the consent form does not change their insurance, does not change private doctors, and does not affect the number of times the student can see their primary doctor.

At the School Health & Wellness Center, students can receive the services below at no cost to families, regardless of insurance status. The Health Center is allowed to bill insurance, however there are no co-pays and no bills.
