Many schools around the country have been closed to in-person learning since early 2020. Now, for the first time in more than a year and a half, schools are opening their doors to students and faculty alike.
ATC Healthcare Services provided many hospitals and medical facilities with the influx of medical workers they needed to keep their operations running smoothly all throughout the pandemic. Now that schools are reopening, our franchisees are excited to return to providing medical professionals to schools in addition to hospitals and medical facilities as we have in the past.
Although the back-to-school season typically finds parents focusing on purchasing new school supplies to prep their children for the new year, COVID-19 is at the forefront of their minds, ensuring that their children are safe and staying healthy upon return. School health professionals will be vital contributors to the protocol and measures put in place to protect children and teachers returning to school.
Responsibilities may look different than they once did for our staff. Though school health care professionals have always worked to manage students’ care plans and assist with the expected scraped knees, bumped heads and more, our medical professionals are now also trained to administer rapid COVID tests to their student population. These tests can be administered on-site at schools spanning all grade levels and contribute to keeping the returning student population safe and healthy.
As our school health care professionals work to keep their students safe, we work to keep them safe by providing important training resources on how to safeguard against contracting the virus themselves.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the nation, there was a shortage in school health care providers, and ATC Healthcare Services has always been there to fill school districts’ growing need. As those needs continue to increase with schools returning to full capacity this fall, ATC Healthcare Services will continue to be there to assist.
