Freeman Neosho Hospital Looks To Create A School Health Network

Freeman Neosho Hospital will use a $100,000 grant to create the Southwest Missouri School Health Network. That network is a partnership of Freeman Neosho, Ozark Center, and McDonald County R-1 School District.

The one-year planning grant will focus on care coordination among network partners, as they lay the groundwork for a robust network focused on delivering school health services. Health care service delivery changes will include: Telehealth visits for medical and behavioral health; increased health education for children and families; greater awareness and response to the needs of children and families with complex medical and social needs . . .
