Educate Your Child’s School on Bleeding Disorders
It is a good time to prepare for your child’s school year. Our outreach nurses are happy to speak with your child’s school or daycare center and provide educational information so that your child’s teachers and school staff know how to respond to medical emergencies related to inherited bleeding disorders.
Our nurses cover the basics, answer staff questions, and provide reassurance to the school or day care staff. We teach them when to call parents and discuss safe sports. Parents are welcome to attend the presentations.
Contact your assigned outreach nurse at 770-518-8272 to schedule a presentation. If you are unsure which nurse to call, please ask for Erica Hunter who will assist you. You will be asked to fill out a form giving us permission to contact the school or day care center. We can also send an information packet to you that you can present to school personnel if you prefer.
We want to help your child have a safe, happy, and successful year.
