School Health Program
Children’s Colorado’s School Health Program consists of 40
school nurses, with CDE Special Services Provider licensure,
who deliver health consultative services for students. Children
who feel good learn better and are more likely to attend school
without absences due to chronic health conditions. We partner
with over 340 schools and child care programs to provide expert,
professional school nursing services. Our team of school nurses
coordinate care, keeping over 77,000 children healthy, safe, in
school and ready to learn.
