Cedar Springs Public Schools and Spectrum Health: Working Together to Provide Healthcare Services for Students.
The goal of the Health Advocacy Program (HAP) is to help keep students healthy, in school and ready to learn. With the provision of consultative nursing services and virtual connectivity with a registered nurse, we can: promote healthy lifestyles, prevent disease, increase response time for medical emergencies, and minimize the impact of illness and disability on a student’s education. Students perform their best when they feel their best.

Care Team
Developing relationships between students, their families, staff and healthcare providers is a vital part of the healthcare experience at school. Relationship-based care requires all stakeholders to participate in order to maximize the effectiveness of the Registered Nurse (RN) who facilitates case management of at risk students, thus improving access to critical medical, dental and social services. As a result, more students receive timely and well coordinated healthcare, increasing the ability to attend school and participate as an active learner. The members of the healthcare team for CSPS are:
● Registered Nurse
● Trained Secretaries
The RN for CSPS provides professional nursing services and manages the school health advocacy program. She can be contacted by phone or virtually for consultation at all times. In addition, the RN supports school secretaries who are trained to participate in the program.
