Nicklaus Children’s Hospital provides medical outreach through a variety of programs to bring healthcare to children in need.
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s school health program offers school-based health clinics in partnership with The Children’s Trust.
This program brings registered nurses, licensed practical nurse practitioners, advanced registered nurse practitioners, licensed social workers and mental health therapists to more than 10,000 students in twelve schools throughout Miami-Dade County, with the goal to decrease absenteeism and improve health outcomes for the student population. The program also ensures children without a pediatrician are assigned one.
The hospital’s telehealth program also supports this initiative by connecting school-based nurses (from four participating Miami-Dade County Public Schools) to advanced pediatric practitioners at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital through the use of telehealth technology.
The Trauma Services Department offers a number of classes and programs to promote the well-being of children in our community.
Safe Transport of Children with Special Needs, offering assistance in the selection of safety seats for proper fit and installation, and appropriateness for child’s overall passenger safety needs. Sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation.
