Health Services Partnership
As the District strives to provide engaging and equitable learning environments for all students, we develop new partnerships with community agencies to expand supports and services available in our schools. The newest partnership, focused on student health and wellness, is a partnership with Cortland Regional Medical Practice. Through this partnership, a registered nurse practitioner will be in schools for a half day each week. The nurse practitioner will partner with school nurses and be available to provide health services to students who are not currently connected to a primary care provider.
Students’ health and success in school are absolutely connected. We hope that by bringing services directly to students during the school day, we can proactively meet students’ health needs and support overall health, wellness and school attendance. Part of creating an engaging and equitable learning environment includes supporting student health and wellness, which includes access to health care, removing barriers to learning and supporting overall healthy development.
