Community Resources

Together we can shape a healthier school community!

"Community partnerships are important to me, as a school nurse, because they enable school nurses to help students and families access the needed services.  Community partnership services provide a bridge to support student and family needs which positively impact a student’s school attendance and success."
Heather Wisnieski, MSN, RN, Clinical Nurse Coordinator, MCPS
