Students need to be healthy to learn. In response to this need, Baxter Academy for Technology and Science has partnered with Avel eCARE in Sioux Falls, S.D., to provide school health services. The eCARE School Health program offers all-day access to an experienced school nurse through two-way video/audio technology. The school nurse is based in Sioux Falls and will assist school staff in treating injuries, illnesses, and chronic health conditions such, as asthma or diabetes. These services are in coordination with and in addition to those already provided by our School Nurse, Gabe Merriam, and our School Physician, Dr. Charles de Sieyes.
The interaction between the School Health nurse and the student are very similar to having a school nurse providing care on-site. With the assistance of school staff, the school nurse visits with and assesses the health needs of your child. If further care or treatment is needed, the school nurse will notify the parent of the outcome and together will decide the best options for the student. The nurse’s number they call from is 605-606-0550. Please consider saving this in your cell phone contacts. The school district provides this service to all students free of charge, with the goal to keep students healthy and learning.
