Highland Health Providers is proud to announce the opening of Leesburg Family Medicine – School-Based Health Center, a new location dedicated to increasing access to high-quality, convenient healthcare for students, staff, and families in the Fairfield Local School District and the greater Leesburg community. The center will officially open to the public on Monday, May 4.

Located at Fairfield Local School, the new health center is part of Highland Health Providers’ ongoing commitment to removing barriers to care and improve community wellness. By offering primary care services directly on a school campus, the organization aims to help students stay healthy, reduce time away from the classroom, and support families with accessible, local healthcare options.

“The opening of this School-Based Health Center is a meaningful step forward for Fairfield School District students and the Leesburg community," said Mandy Warix, executive director of Highland Health Providers. “By providing care to both students and community members, we are reducing barriers to access and strengthening the link between health, learning, and long-term success. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to a healthier, more connected community.”

The Leesburg Family Medicine location will be led by Julie Roush, APRN-CNP, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing care to patients of all ages. Beginning May 4, Julie Roush’s appointments will transition to the new Leesburg site at 11613 state Route 771, Leesburg.

The School-Based Health Center is open to the community and will offer a full range of primary care services, including:

• Treatment for acute illness and minor injuries;

• Adult, pediatric, and adolescent care;

• Annual wellness exams and physicals; and

• Chronic disease diagnosis and management.

The new location reflects a strong partnership between Highland Health Providers and the Fairfield Local School District, working together to support the health, well-being, and academic success of the community.
