SYLVANIA SCHOOLS CONTRACTS WITH PROMEDICA FOR SCHOOL NURSES

SYLVANIA, Oh.-  Sylvania Schools has entered into a partnership with ProMedica to provide school nursing services starting August 2, 2018. The district greatly appreciates the service and commitment from our previous provider, and it is unfortunate that an interim agreement was not reached with them.

The new partnership with ProMedica will provide the same level of nursing services at the start of the school year to which our students and families have been accustomed. In addition to school nurses, on January 1st, 2019, telehealth technology will be available in each of the 12 school buildings, allowing nurses to virtually diagnose and treat students throughout the district in a timely manner.

”We’re looking forward to working with Sylvania Schools to provide nursing and telehealth services to students, which allows us to fulfill our mission of improving the health and wellbeing
of the community” said Darrell Wachowiak, Associate Vice President at ProMedica Flower Hospital.

Sylvania Schools is diligently working with ProMedica to ensure a seamless transition when students return to class on August 20th. We’re excited to begin a collaborative relationship with ProMedica and look forward to another successful school year.

For more information about the telehealth service, please visit the Communications page on our district website, sylvaniaschools.org.
