Health Services

The Methacton School District Health Services Department supports the health and well-being of our school-age children. We focus on preventing and addressing health concerns to ensure our students thrive.

Certified school health nurses play a key role in developing comprehensive school health programs. These programs aim to improve student health, which in turn strengthens the educational process. 

The role of certified school health nurses include:

  • Ensuring all children, including those with disabilities, have access to quality, comprehensive school health programs. These programs should be developmentally appropriate, community-driven, family-centered, and culturally competent, addressing the needs of diverse populations.
  • Prioritizing prevention, early intervention, and empowering children, youth, and families to manage their own health.
  • Fostering collaboration between education, health, welfare, and other agencies (both public and private) to ensure coordinated, integrated, and continuous services in a cost-effective manner.
  • Maintaining high-quality services that adhere to nursing theory, standards of practice, and all applicable Pennsylvania laws and regulations.
