School Health Services strengthen and facilitate the educational process by improving and protecting the health status of children and by identifying and assisting in the removal or modification of health-related barriers to the learning process for individual children. The top priority of school nursing is the prevention of illness and disability and the early detection and correction of health problems.
The School Nurse is well-prepared and uniquely qualified in preventive health, health assessment, and referral procedures. Our program is designed to aid each student in reaching and maintaining their best possible state of well-being.
