MapThe School Health Services Program is a component of the public health system that provides basic health services to all public school students. All 67 counties provide basic school health services.
Services include:
- Child-specific training
- Health screenings
- Nursing assessments
- Preventive dental screenings
- School immunization requirements
The goal of school health services is to ensure that students are healthy, in school, and ready to learn. Additionally, school health registered nurses work closely with school staff and parents to promote healthy behaviors such as maintaining a healthy weight and choosing to be physically active and reducing risk-taking behaviors such as using tobacco and other substances.
