Welcome to MESD School Health Services, a critical link between health and education.

Over 185 MESD employees work in School Health Services. We ensure the safety of students by providing the highest standard of nursing care in the school and community setting, so that every student has the opportunity to achieve their educational potential. We are nurses, care coordinators, health educators, health assistants, administrative staff, and screening and prevention specialists who provide and coordinate specialized health services for students throughout Multnomah and Clackamas County.

We are committed to employee and community wellness, advocacy on behalf of students and their families, collaboration with community health systems and school-based health centers, research and development to improve population health in schools, and using evidenced-based practice in the delivery of care. We support the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model that combines and builds on elements of the traditional coordinated school health approach by responding to the call for greater alignment, integration, and collaboration between education and health to improve each child's cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development.
