A new health clinic aims to keep students healthy and reduce absenteeism.

Clarity Healthcare Scholar Clinic is a partnership between the organization and Columbia Public Schools, with other involvement from the University of Missouri’s Sinclair School of Nursing. It’s at the former Eugene Field School, now the Eugene Field Center, 1010 Rangeline St.

“This has been a journey, a journey focused on what is best for our students,” said CPS Superintendent Brian Yearwood at Tuesday’s dedication.

Related to the secondary objective of reducing absenteeism, Yearwood said students who are in school 90% of the school year achieve double the advancement in reading and triple the advancement in math on state tests compared to those who don’t.
