Nurse Gaby Frey, RN, BSN embodies the passionate care you want in the school nurse taking care of your child. She began her school healthcare career as an assistant before working in a few other areas outside of school, including senior health, psychology, and summer healthcare. She quickly realized that her passion lay in school health, and returned to school to obtain her nursing degree to fulfill her passion.

At Del Valle ISD, there are 19 campuses including Hillcrest Elementary, but there’s only one Nurse Frey and the students of Hillcrest are lucky to have such a passionate advocate treating them in their school. Each day, Nurse Frey and her students get to benefit from a supportive district administration that prioritizes the health of its students and provides proactive and ongoing communication around student health.

One of the primary reasons that Nurse Frey is such an asset to her campus is because she firmly believes that “health is the foundation of everything in life. If students are healthier, they will enjoy school more and find it easier to learn while they’re here.”

Nurse Frey is an incredible health advocate for her students in many ways, but she also has shown an unwavering commitment to educating parents and school staff on the advantages of SchoolMed. She understands that without this program, she wouldn’t receive essential wellness checks, and would suffer unexcused absences from sick days.

“Goodside Health augments what our health services department already offers. We can offer parents a more convenient way to get the health care their kids need that, for many of them, simply isn’t available anywhere else,” Nurse Frey explained.

It’s because of school nurses like Gaby Frey that closing the gaps in children’s healthcare is possible. Thank you, Nurse Frey, for your commitment to student health at Del Valle ISD and beyond.
