Health Services
School health services play a vital role in promoting the well-being of students, staff, families and the broader community by addressing health concerns and fostering preventive care. These services encompass a wide range of supports, including first aid, chronic condition management, emergency response, wellness promotion, and health education for students and families. By partnering with community-based support organizations and healthcare providers, schools can enhance access to care and strengthen health education efforts across the entire community.
