OCPS Student's FREE HealthCare

Orange County Public Schools provides health care services throughout the district, delivered by advanced nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and school health aides/health room assistants. Learning community Registered Nurses provide education and monitoring of school personnel. They attend school meetings with parents and school staff to develop individual student health plans and to determine health services needed. Some nursing services are partially provided by Florida Department of Health in Orange County, Orlando Health, Winter Park Health Foundation, Advent Health and other contracted agency health care providers. The Orange County Health Department coordinates with OCPS to provide vaccinations, health screenings, and support in health practices.

A pediatric medical consultant meets with the OCPS district nurses in an advisory capacity, to determine guidelines to be followed in all Orange County public schools.
