School Health

School Health program staff are valuable partners in ensuring that students are healthy, safe and ready to learn.

DOH-School Health staff work collaboratively with the Martin County School District to promote student health through prevention, early intervention, education for acute and chronic health problems.

DOH has expanded case management for students. If your student is in need of services, please contact your child’s school clinic.

School Health staff enhance health in the schools and the community by providing health record reviews, health appraisals, nursing assessments, health screenings (vision, hearing, scoliosis, growth and development) health counseling, referrals and follow up of suspected or confirmed health problems.
