New Partners, Mental Health Updates and More Good News from February
Spring is just around the corner, and Goodside Health is supporting the health and wellness of schools and students for the stretch run of the 22/23 school year.
With more than 2,000 virtual visits in February, SchoolMed surpassed 150,000 student academic hours saved for this school year! That means more learning time and even more opportunities for students to excel inside and outside of the classroom.
Thank you to all of our partners, school nurses, and supports that continue to prioritize the health and wellness of our campus communities.
Let’s take one final look back at the month that was, and don’t forget to bookmark the Good News page for more updates:

Your SchoolMed Monthly Insight
Allergens, irritants, physical factors, and even the weather are just a few of the many causes of common rashes. While rashes aren’t always a primary reason for sending students to the health room – they can be!
Every individual with a rash, especially those with persistent ones, can benefit from being seen by a medical provider. Here are some common questions our care team considers when treating rashes and other skin conditions:
- Have you had a history of rashes or skin conditions?
- How long has this condition been present?
- Has it spread to other parts of the body or been confined to the same area?
- What prescriptions and over-the-counter medications are you taking?
- Are there any underlying medical conditions or allergies that may be contributing factors?
If you’re concerned a rash may be contagious, spreading, or persistent, SchoolMed providers are here to help. Talk to a provider, ensure your students get the care they need, and they’ll start feeling better soon!
