The Back-2-School Health Clinics are a community-driven initiative designed to ensure that children across Hillsborough County are healthy, protected, and ready to start the school year. Operating every summer, these appointment-only clinics provide no-cost routine immunizations, school physicals, and Florida DH-680 immunization record transfers—all essential for meeting school enrollment requirements.

Led by Project LINK in partnership with the Back to School Coalition of Hillsborough County, the clinics serve uninsured and Medicaid-enrolled students ages 5–18 who are entering kindergarten, 7th grade, or new to the Hillsborough County Public or Charter School system. With strong collaboration between the Florida health department, hospitals, Hillsborough County Schools, Public Health Advocates, and nonprofit partners, the Coalition plays a critical role in coordinating logistics, recruiting licensed medical volunteers, and ensuring equitable access to services countywide.

Key milestones include the seamless integration of translation services for non-English-speaking families, expanded partnerships with healthcare providers, and hands-on training opportunities for medical students and emerging professionals. Together, these achievements reflect a powerful collaboration between schools, community partners, and volunteers dedicated to promoting student wellness and reducing long-term healthcare costs to the community.
