About the HHC

The Ritenour community celebrated the expansion of the Husky Health Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour on Nov. 14, 2024 at its new location inside the Husky Support Center, 9303 Midland Blvd. in Overland. 

The Husky Health Center, which opened in January 2019 in Hoech Middle School to serve K-12 Ritenour students, is expanding its services provided by CareSTL Health at its new location. Previously serving only Ritenour students, the center will now provide medical and behavioral health services to Ritenour families, staff members and district residents, with expanded hours of operation. 

The center offers no-cost pediatric and behavioral health services for Ritenour students, with the district providing transportation for students between schools and the health center during school hours to minimize classroom disruption. The expansion now will offer appointments to Ritenour staff, students and their families, and other Ritenour residents from 2:30-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. 

“After five years of serving Ritenour students, we are excited that medical and behavioral health services provided by CareSTL Health at our Husky Health Center will now be available for Ritenour families, staff and residents,” said Superintendent Dr. Chris Kilbride. 

“As a district, we work to serve every need of our students,” Dr. Kilbride added. “The expansion is helping us to step up our game even further so that we can serve our families as well as those within the Ritenour footprint who don’t normally have connections with our schools.” 

Andrea Spates, chief operations officer for CareSTL Health, said expanding the services of the Husky Health Center has been a dream for the organization for a long time so it can carry out its mission of offering quality health care to more people in underserved communities. 

“We are proud to now be able to be a health care provider of choice for the entire community of the Ritenour School District,” Spates said.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, St. Louis County Councilwoman Rita Heard Days presented Ritenour with a proclamation recognizing its partnership with CareSTL Health and its commitment to serving its students and entire community with needed wrap-around services.
