This vision will be driven by ongoing monitoring, assessment leading to policy-making oriented towards the prevention of diseases and related risk factors, therefore improving morbidity and mortality rates

School-Based Programs

The Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, Division of Community Pediatrics and Preventive Medicine is partnering with The Childrens Trust of Miami-Dade County to offer school-based health clinics, as part of the Health Connect in Our Schools Program.

This initiative, which provides a nurse practitioner and licensed practical nurse (LPN) at high-risk schools, provides preventive and basic school health services in an effort to decrease absenteeism and improve health outcomes of the student population. The program also seeks to assign medical homes for children without a pediatrician.

For more information on this program, please call 305-663-6800.
