Summary
Sentara Health has partnered with Hampton City Schools to launch telehealth clinics in schools, offering on-site acute primary care for students and staff. The clinics, staffed by a licensed practical nurse and a virtual advanced practice provider, enable remote physical exams using advanced technology. This initiative is intended to improve access to healthcare, reduce student absenteeism, and lessen the burden on parents needing to take time off work for medical appointments. Currently operational at George P. Phenix PreK-8 School, there are plans for future expansion to more schools in the area.
