SENECA SCHOOL DISTRICT is pleased to offer Telemedicine services in our schools through the support of the Newton County Commissioners and Freeman Neosho Hospital. This program helps us better support the health of our students and staff by making access to medical care more convenient during the school day.
The purpose of the Telemedicine program is to help students receive timely care when they are not feeling well, while also helping them stay healthy and in school whenever possible. When a student becomes ill at school and needs medical attention, the school nurse can assist with setting up a Telemedicine visit from the nurse’s office with a qualified Freeman healthcare provider.
Parents and guardians may also take part in the appointment virtually through a secure link using a cell phone, computer, or other smart device. This allows parents to see and hear the visit, communicate with the medical provider, and stay involved while the school nurse assists the student in person. The result is a more connected and supportive healthcare experience for the student, family, nurse, and provider.
We know how important it is for families to stay informed and involved when it comes to their child’s health. Additional information about Telemedicine and how the program works is available through the links below. These resources explain the benefits of Telemedicine and how it can help support a healthier school environment.
At Seneca School District, the health and well-being of our students and staff remain a priority. Through Telemedicine services, we are able to provide accessible, timely, and convenient healthcare support for our school community.
