The Howard County Health Department in partnership with the Howard County Public School System has selected Deep Run ES to be one of the eleven schools to have a school-based wellness center. Deep Run ES has had the telemedicine program, but starting in SY 22-23, there will be a nurse practitioner on-site a few days a week to provide school entry physicals,  co-management of chronic health problems with your child’s pediatric provider, health education, and treat acute illnesses and injuries. The wellness center hopes to offer routine childhood vaccinations in the near future.  When the nurse practitioner is not at the school, telemedicine services will still be offered for illnesses and injuries. The Health Department will only bill Medical Assistance or your child’s MCO. The family is never billed or charged a  co-pay or any fee. Children must be enrolled by their parent or guardian to receive services.
