Virtual School Clinics
When a child gets sick at school, it's not always easy to get them the care they need.
Virtual School Clinics are available using virtual health care. This means kids with sore throats, flu, coughs and similar conditions can be seen by a licensed provider on the spot.
Now, there's no need to pick your child up from school and drive to the doctor's office or urgent care. Virtual health care means your child can be seen immediately by the same CoxHealth providers you know and trust, using a web camera and specialized equipment.
Virtual School Clinics are made possible thanks to grants provided by TKD Foundation, Missouri Foundation for Health, the United States Department of Agriculture and a partnership with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at CoxHealth.
Please note that children running a fever, displaying symptoms of strep or other contagious illnesses will need to go home immediately following their online visit. If your child's diagnosis requires prescriptions, they will be sent to your preferred pharmacy. If you need assistance with the cost of prescriptions, give us a call at 417-269-8633.
