Henrico County Public Schools strives to be proactive in anticipating school health-care needs. The HCPS Department of School Health Services believes that students thrive in a collaborative, holistic environment. The department communicates regularly with instructors about their students’ needs, and embraces an approach to student health care that is all-inclusive. If students, teachers, staff members or families think someone in the school community needs medical care, please let your school nurse or another member of the School Health Services Department know.
