Enhancing Student Wellness Across West Texas

Campus Health Connect K-12 Program

Campus Health Connect is dedicated to providing children in rural West Texas with access to high-quality, personalized health care. This innovative program offers convenient and secure virtual consultations facilitated by trained school nurses, connecting students and their guardians to licensed health care providers and keeping care accessible and close to home.

By partnering with Independent School Districts (ISDs) in rural Texas, we deliver in-school telemedicine to make health care more equitable, affordable and convenient for families; while helping students stay in the classroom and succeed.

Every Child In Rural Texas Deserves Quality Care

After significant effort and collaboration with local school districts, several ISDs have officially signed on. The program is focused on enrolling families with patient visits beginning in early 2025. This marks an exciting new chapter in improving health care access for students.

Campus Health Connect currently has telemedicine equipment deployed at multiple campuses within Ector County ISD, including Cavazos Elementary, Wilson and Young Medal of Honor Middle School and Odessa High School. Telemedicine services are also being implemented at Lometa ISD, Lohn ISD and Robert Lee ISD, each of which has one campus.

For just $20 per visit, Campus Health Connect provides care for nonemergent physical and mental health needs for children from infancy to age 18, with parental or guardian consent.

Campus Health Connect will continue to expand to more ISDs and communities in the future, providing a convenient and accessible health care option for even more students across the region.
