Care Connection is a partnership between Nationwide Children’s Hospital, area schools and your child’s doctor to provide additional access to health care at your child’s school.

School health clinics are available in select central Ohio schools. Our nurse practitioners can help when your child has a sore throat, bad cough, earache, headache, but they can also provide a number of other services including:
• Give shots
• Do blood work
• Perform checkups
• Send medication to the pharmacy
• Provide sports physicals
• Treat asthma
• Help with work permit physicals
• Treat anxiety, depression and ADHD
• Test for pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections
• Provide education on birth control
• Connect you with a doctor

The child’s parent/guardian must provide consent for their child to be seen by the provider.

Appointments at our school health clinics are available during school hours and, at some sites, before and after school. Walk-in appointments may be available. Parents/guardians are always welcome, but don’t need to be at the appointment. We’ll talk to you over the phone after the visit.

The services provided are not meant to replace your pediatrician or family doctor. When your child has any medical need, your first call should always be to your pediatrician. If your child does not have a pediatrician or family doctor, we will connect you to one.

You can call (614) 355-2590 or contact your school nurse to make an appointment.
