With the help of a school nurse...
- Children can control symptoms, manage diseases, avoid trips to the hospital
- Health conditions can be identified and allow for early interventions
- Can ensure children are meeting their milestones and growing appropriately inbetween their yearly check-ups
- Students and their families can get help to resources within the community
As the school nurse, my number one focus is the health and safety of the students.
I am here to support your child's physical, mental and emotional health.
I can help students and their families in many ways:
- Get access to health insurance
- Coordinate care by communicating between the family and healthcare providers
- Vision and hearing screenings, oral health, provide referrals when needed.
- Health education and illness prevention, emergency care
- Medication management
- IEPs and 504s
- Chronic health management
I'm thrilled to be starting my 3rd year at GAP-L
