School Health
Over the course of the last several years, PrimaryPlus has been involved in building a strong school health program within the Lewis County School System. The two organizations have worked together to create a program that exceeds expectations bringing quality care, friendly faces, added convenience, and affordability. Currently, PrimaryPlus provides three nurses for the middle school and high school. We handle all state mandated screenings, offers FREE screenings throughout the course of the year, conducts trainings/certifications for employees (CPR, First Aid, etc), offers many entertaining health education programs, and more. Below are some of the health education programs available, please note that we can also create or adapt programs to better fit the educational need.
