Packard Children's Hospital, Foundation Provide Financial Support for School Nurses in San Jose

Joint grant of $2.65 million to support San Jose Unified School District

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health today announced a joint grant of $2.65 million over five years to the San Jose Unified School District.

"Our nurses are overwhelmed. We appreciate the willingness of Packard Children's and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health to help us address this immediate issue and develop a model for longer term solutions."

The project is designed to help children succeed in school by improving their access to primary care and prevention services, and by establishing a "medical home" for students who do not have a regular health care provider. In addition to four school nurses, the grant also includes funding for a nurse practitioner based at School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County.
