Hello! My name is Sonya Luchauer, MSN, ARNP, and I am the new provider for the Madison School-Based Health Center. I am very excited to be here, and to be of service to the students and families at Madison. I moved to Seattle from Washington, DC, last year, where I had been working in community health as a primary care pediatric Nurse Practitioner for the past seven years. I look forward to meeting you and am here to help in any way I can!
I am available for medical appointments on Mondays and Wednesdays 8 am-4 pm, and Thursdays 8 am-12 pm. We can do sports physicals, well-child checkups, routine vaccines (including flu vaccines!), and many other health maintenance services. Right now, we are not taking any sick visits due to COVID-19, but we can direct you to other clinics. Please feel free to call and schedule an appointment at (206) 933-7842.

Starting the week of October 19, Seattle Public Schools will be delivering a short survey about remote learning experiences to students, families, and staff. Student surveys will be delivered during live/synchronous school time and will not require any parental supervision.

Free Science Enrichment Program for Girls |
The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) invites middle school girls to join the Girls in Engineering, Math and Science (GEMS) program. GEMS is a free, volunteer-run after-school science enrichment program for Seattle 7th and 8th grade girls to explore STEM in a safe, virtual environment through both online and kit-based hands-on activities. GEMS meetings run once a month virtually from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm from November through April and are offered on either recurring Tuesdays or Wednesdays. In addition, we organize virtual tours of local STEM labs and workspaces with time to chat with the scientists who work there. The application for GEMS is due October 23.
