Chronic and Acute Health Management at School 

Chronic Health Management

Many parents rely on the school nurse for primary care assessments and treatment of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, lyme, asthma, allergies, mental/behavioral health, etc.

 Documentation is required by the treating medical provider to allow us to provide optimal care for your child during the school day. With the doctor's plan and conversation with you, we will come up with a plan to safely support your child's needs during the school day.

 Acute Physical or Mental/Behavioral Health Management

Students may return with physical limitations or medication changes that will affect their ability to function in the dynamic school environment. If your child has been seen in the primary, acute-care, or emergency setting, returns from an injury or surgery, documentation is required by the treating medical provider. Such documentation should outline how we can best support your child during the school day.
