Mobile Medical Unit visiting soon!
Applications Due September 2, 2022.
Attention, PCR-I Families! We have some exciting news!
Our school is partnering with Northeast Missouri Health Council to bring a Mobile Medical Program to our school! This is essentially a doctor's office on wheels. It is much like the Mobile Dental Unit which visits our school twice a year. You might have seen the "tooth truck" sitting outside our elementary school before. This is very similar, but for well-child visits, follow-up appointments, sick visits, sports physicals, immunizations, and more. The best part is, you don't have to worry about missing work to drive to an appointment and students miss much less class time! Parents and Guardians are not required to be in attendance. The provider will send home a detailed summary of the visit with the student and/or call the parent/guardian to summarize once the visit is complete.
The Mobile Medical Program will accept most major health insurances and MO HealthNet, Missouri Care, United HealthCare Community Plan, and Home State Health Plan. If the student does not have any health insurance, NMHC will work with parents/guardians to obtain coverage and/or NMHC's sliding fee program. The sliding fee program is income based and provides discounts for services.
If you would like your child to have the opportunity to be seen on the Mobile Medical Unit, please complete the packet and return it to school by Friday, September 2, 2022. The Mobile Medical Unit will be visiting our school on September 22, 2022. If you already filled out a packet last spring for the Medical Unit, you do not have to fill out another one. If you have any questions, please call Nurse Stephanie at 660-947-3361 extension 319 or email her at sgillum@putnamcountyr1.net.
