The Branson School District announced the CoxHealth Virtual Clinics in schools program will continue in the 2022-2023 school year.
The program allows students to be seen for basic medical needs or urgent care needs by a CoxHealth staffer during the school day, without having to leave campus.
“CoxHealth started offering Virtual Clinics in schools back in 2017,” CoxHealth Virtual School Clinics Director Bridget O’Hara told Branson Tri-Lakes News. “The idea actually came from a school district superintendent who expressed the need to create help and resources for their students. We began a pilot program and it became very successful, allowing us to expand and create the same opportunities for more schools.”
