Staff Reports
The Neosho School District now offers Telemedicine health services to students.
A partnership between the Newton County Commission and Freeman Neosho Hospital has made it possible for the district to offer the service.
The goal is to keep students and staff healthy and in school by providing prompt, convenient, access to a healthcare provider.
If a student becomes ill at school and needs to see a medical provider, the school nurse can now offer the opportunity for a Telemedicine visit with a Freeman provider.
With parents’ permission students can be seen by a Freeman provider via telehealth from the school nursing office. Parents can attend the visit from their cell phone, computer or other smart device without having to leave work or home.
