We’ve partnered with CoxHealth to bring a Virtual Clinic to our school. With Virtual Clinics in Schools, your child has access to great health care without leaving campus when they get sick during school hours.
During your child’s visit, they’ll meet with a licensed physician or nurse practitioner using state-of-the-art video conferencing equipment at school. If you can’t be with them during the visit, you can join the conference using your mobile device, minimizing disruptions to your daily schedule.
To participate, complete the Consent to Treat form and return it to the nurse’s office or your child’s homeroom teacher.
The first Virtual Clinic is housed at the Spokane Middle School. We hope to have a second one housed at Highlandville Elementary in the future. Parents can transport their elementary children to the Middle School for services.
The hours of the clinic are: 8:30am to 3:00pm
