On this page
With healthcare costs on the rise, we offer an affordable and convenient resource to our employees. All full-time staff members, as well as their spouses and legal dependents from the ages of 2-27, are invited to take advantage of the district’s Employee Clinic.
The clinic offers $10 visits regardless of insurance. While not designed to replace primary care providers, a physician assistant or nurse practitioner will treat minor illnesses—sore throat, earache, sinuses, etc.
Everyone that visits the clinic must have the GISD employee's ID number each time they visit the clinic.

Registration documents
Minors
All minors need to be accompanied by an adult, and anyone 18 or older must present an ID during check-in. If a parent or guardian is unable to accompany their child, they may send an authorized representative as long as the clinic has a Patient Information form filled out by them. See the Registration Documents section for all forms.
No-show policy
We have a limited number of appointments each day. We want to be sure that all these time slots are available to those in need and not wasted due to no-shows.
If you are unable to make it to your appointment, we ask that you call one hour prior to your scheduled appointment to notify us. If you miss three appointments without providing proper notice, our clinic will no longer be able to serve you.
