Our mission is to support learning by
keeping all Leon County school children healthy and safe. We do this by
teaching healthy behaviors, observing and evaluating potential health
problems, and working with parents, doctors, and schools to champion
children's health. Through our oversight and supervision of the School
Health Rooms, we foster the child's well-being. |
