Health/Nursing Services

Akron Children’s Hospital School Health Services is our dedicated partner for student health support. Our clinic staff administer medications, provide first aid and illness evaluation, and address the needs of students with specific medical management plans for chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and seizure disorders. Additionally, our clinic staff conduct state-required vision and hearing screenings and ensure immunization compliance.

We are the Akron Children’s Hospital Kent School Health Team and we proudly serve the Kent City School District community.

Our mission is to support the academic success of all our students through health promotion, education and child advocacy. We work to keep our students healthy, in school and ready to learn. We treat all students as individuals. Our team is here to support them as they learn, grow and reach their full potential.

We uphold Akron Children’s Hospital three foundational promises.

1. We care for children as if they are our own.
2. We treat people as they would want to be treated.
3. We turn no child away for any reason.
