The Coburn Health Office is a very busy place
taking care of Coburn Students. In a typical day,
students visit the Health Office for a varity of
reasons including: health screening (height/weight,
hearing, vision), illness, injuries
and medication.
Healthy teeth, good hygiene, and
disease prevention are an
important part of our daily contact
with children. We also act as
liaison and advocates in the
community for all children especially those with
special needs. keeping children healthy is a big
job as we work in partnership with parents.

Parents are asked to help by:
- establishing good eating and sleeping habits.
- keeping children home from school with acute illnesses.
- providing updated immunization and medical information
- making sure that telephone numbers and emergency contacts are current
- promoting child safety issues such as never sending medication with children, safe street crossing, fire safety, and "stranger danger"
