School Immunization Information
The goal of the Heath Service Nurse is to assist students, families, and staff with health care needs and the prevention of health related illness or injury that would impede the learning process. A healthy environment builds a healthy student and provides the optimal setting for learning and achieving one’s maximum potential.
School Immunizations, Sliding Scale Fee
Carson Valley Health is offering back-to-school immunizations at its Primary Care Minden and Topaz Ranch clinics. Sliding scale discounted fees and financial assistance are available through its Community Care Assistance Program.
"Great healthcare shouldn't break the bank, and it is our policy to provide essential services regardless of the patient's ability to pay," Shannon Alber, CVH's chief operating officer, said. "Sliding scale fees and discounted services are offered depending on the household's income and family size."
