Telenursing in public elementary schools?

Published

Hello,

Does anyone have any resources for telemedicine / telenursing for my son’s public charter school in Los Angeles? There is no school nurse and I had the idea that our school could possibly have access to a telehealth program... Anyone know of an organization or app or company that works with kids in schools?

Our district uses Hazel Health. I am in N. Cal. I was not involved with the set up, but I'm sure you can google it and get a phone number. Good luck, hope this helps.

Out of curiosity, with no school nurse onsite, how do the Type 1 diabetics, seizure disorder kids, etc. manage? Who dispenses the controlled meds like Ritalin, etc.? I can't imagine not having a nurse in schools but I know not every school has a nurse.
