School Health Nursing Services Program was developed jointly by the Duval County Public School System and the Florida Department of Health in Duval County (FDOH-D) as part of the total School Health Services Program.
The School Health Services Program is intended to minimize health barriers to learning for public school students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. It addresses day-to-day student health needs, emergency health needs, and in-school management of chronic and acute health conditions like diabetes, asthma, allergies, and epilepsy. In-school care management helps to ensure that student health conditions do not prevent students from attending school.
