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.
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.

The school system does not carry medical insurance for accidents that occur at school, including non-sport related injuries, such as trips and falls, physical education injuries, and recess/playground injuries. Thus, parents are encouraged to enroll students in the accident insurance program offered through HCPSS.
