The Ochsner Healthy Schools Program supports children’s physical and emotional wellbeing in a school based setting. School success builds confidence, responsibility and routine in a developing child. Through our school nursing program, community outreach opportunities and health education, we are here to help children reach their full potential.
Our goal is to improve health outcomes and access for our children and their families. Our trained medical professionals can help identify children struggling with chronic health and mental conditions and connect them to Ochsner's larger comprehensive healthcare system.
