Jordan Valley School Based Services
At the Republic School District, we are grateful for our continued school-based health clinic partnership with Jordan Valley Health!
Starting Monday, September 12, Jordan Valley's mobile unit will continue well-child checks on every third Monday throughout the school year on school campuses.
In addition, our school nurses can coordinate with Jordan Valley Health to set up a virtual visit during the school day with a Jordan Valley doctor or nurse practitioner for any student that is sick and needs to be seen by a practitioner for the following illnesses: strep throat, ear infection, sinus infection, rash, pink eye, stomach flu, bug bites, lice and congestion. The student will be able to return to class OR they will be given a diagnosis and will be ready to go home. If necessary, the provider will call in a prescription to the patient's pharmacy for them to pay for and pick-up.
This partnership is made possible primarily by funds provided by Jordan Valley Health Centers. Beyond office space for the on-site community health worker, this program has no other financial obligations for the district. Parents will never receive a bill for care. If the patient has insurance, that insurance will receive the bill. If the patient does not have insurance, Jordan Valley Health Center covers the cost of the visit and patients only have to pay for prescriptions, when needed.
This service will be optional, but available to all students. Registration forms will need to be completed before students can be seen. You can print a form and return it to school at http://ow.ly/yweH50KET2c. We're excited and thankful for this opportunity to partner with Jordan Valley Health Center!
