ABOUT GDS

Connor Wellness Center

GDS is more than just a school; it is our students’ healthcare home and provides a vast array of on-site services

Convenient care

The Connor Wellness Center, located on the campus of The Greater Dayton School, is our students’ healthcare home. This facility, operated through a partnership with Dayton Children’s Hospital and other providers, provides services that include: primary care, behavioral health, speech therapy, occupational therapy, dental care, vision care and vaccinations.

Long-term outcomes

Our students and families develop long-term, positive relationships with our trusted healthcare providers, who understand the unique needs of the children we serve. And our staff:

  • schedules all our students appointments (well visits, follow-ups, consultations, etc.)
  • handles billing
  • answers questions
  • helps our families navigate the often confusing healthcare system.

The entire model is predicated on developing our students into physically and mentally healthy adults.
