Telehealth is a program using video equipment so that your child can receive health care services without ever leaving school. When your child gets sick, a school nurse can have your child seen by a pediatric provider or doctor from Children’s Health and may be able to stay at school and you may be able to stay at work or home. Some medical conditions treated include: colds, coughs, running nose, ear aches, pink eye, strep throat, lice and rashes.
