Health consultation is as simple as asking us a question! As an early care and education provider, you might have general health or safety-related questions such as:
- When do I send a child home with symptoms of illness?
- When can a child who is sick come back to care?
- How do I best care for a child with a specific illness or health condition?
- Are the health policies at my center up to date?
- How do I keep the children that I care for healthy and safe?
- How do I communicate my concerns about health and safety issues to families?
That’s where we come in! Our health consultation team is happy to help answer your question, no matter how big or small it may seem.
When you contact us, one of our nurses will get back to you by phone or email.
Sometimes, we need to ask you for more information so that we can give you the best possible information or resources.
