School Health Services Program Management
Health Services is a component of our “Coordinated School Health Program” and is designed to provide emergency care for illness or injury, prevent and control communicable disease and other health problems, and promote a safe school environment.
- The provision of these health services is achieved through collaboration between the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (HCD), the Florida Department of Health Palm Beach County (FDOHPBC) and The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC).
- All partners play an integral role in the delivery of basic health care to our students on a daily basis. These nursing interventions allowed an average of over 80.3% of the students receiving care to return to the classroom during the 2017-2018 school year.
