Coordinated School Health - 8 Components

Health Services

Growing kids require a regularly scheduled health "maintenance" program-including immunizations, dental checkups, physicals, eye exams, other types of screenings, and in certain instances, daily medication. With the help of health professionals, schools can encourage preventive services to enable students to take proactive measures to stay healthy and get more out of school. It might also include identification of health problems, early intervention, problem solving and/or referral of specific health problems.
