Virtual School Clinics allow children to be seen by a licensed provider for sore throats, flu, coughs, and similar conditions without leaving school.
These clinics are located inside area schools and allow healthcare professionals to connect with children remotely via internet. Benefits of virtual care include immediate healthcare accessible to a child directly from school, eliminating the need for a drive to the doctor’s office or urgent care, as well as reducing the amount of time the child misses school. Parents can participate in the virtual visit with their child in-person or through a video connection.
Health conditions treated include but are not limited to:
- Bug bites
- Congestion
- Ear infections
- Head lice
- Minor injuries
- Pinkeye
- Rash or skin irritations
- Sinus infections
- Stomach flu
- Strep throat
