Dear Parents, Students & Faculty:

Welcome back for the start of another school year. We are happy to announce the school health clinic, also known as HealthConnect in Our Schools, will be open from 7:30 AM-4PM and is located in the main office. Some of the many services we provide throughout the school year are:

• Immunizations that kids need for school

• Primary care for uninsured students with no access to health care

• Diagnosing and treating your child’s illnesses
• Prescribing medications for your child
• Ordering blood work, x-rays, & other tests
• In-school, same-day, urgent care treatment of your child’s acute illnesses
• Follow-up care in school
• Chronic disease management
• Referrals for your child to go to a specialist
• Connecting your child to a primary provider and/or insurance
• Expanded screening assessments
• Mental and behavioral health services

HealthConnect in our Schools is a joint partnership of The Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, & The Miami-Dade County Health Department. The goal of HealthConnect is to have the healthiest children possible in Miami-Dade County with plans to include a clinic like ours in every public school by the year 2011!

We look forward to caring for your children again this school year. Please do not hesitate to call, email, or visit us!
