The Ochsner Healthy Schools Program supports children’s physical and emotional well-being 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 help children be healthier and give them better access to healthcare. Our trained medical professionals can help identify children struggling with ongoing physical and mental health conditions. We can then connect them to Ochsner's larger healthcare system. Healthy Schools is also available for pediatric wellness education to teachers, students and their families. Through our program, we hope to keep children healthy in school with prompt responses to their medical issues. We can communicate with their parents through the convenience of their school.
