Our school is now offering telehealth visits in the nurse’s office through our partnership with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital (ETCH).
We are excited to provide care for minor illnesses while your child is at school. This service makes accessing pediatric care quicker and more convenient—a pediatric provider can evaluate your child through a virtual visit right from the nurse’s office.
Our goal is to make getting care easier and help students feel better and stay in school when possible.
