Addressing Healthcare Needs, Ensuring That Students Can Thrive

One in four students is impacted by chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy, which can impact their learning. School nurses provide direct care, manage chronic conditions, promote mental health, and connect families to community resources to improve healthcare access.
