What is a school-based health or wellness center?

A School-based Wellness Center is similar to a doctor’s office, but located inside a school or on a school campus. This site is able to provide acute health care services to children through the use of telemedicine technology during the school day. All services require written consent from parents and/or guardians.

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine provides a two-way connection between student and nurse at school and a doctor at another location.  The connection is made using a video link.  Special equipment is used to allow the doctor to examine the student’s ears, throat, skin, eyes and listen to lungs.

Health Services provided include treatment for illnesses such as:

Sore throat
ear infections
Asthma
conjunctivitis
colds and upper respiratory symptoms
rashes
