Penn Highlands Health Care is teaming up with the Brockway Area School District to offer virtual doctor visits to students through a program called “My School Health Now.”
According to WTAJ News, the program will allow school nurses to contact physicans to evaluate a student via high-definition telemedicine video and communications equipment.
The program is aimed at reducing student absenteeism and parents workplace leave. There is a possibility it will expand to other districts.
