The nurses provide medications, perform other procedures, and have contact with parents about health issues. The Breast Care Fund started in 2014 and provides screenings, mammograms, and follow-up treatment for those who can't afford care. The newest program, founded in 2019, is School Mental Health. This serves students in Holland Public Schools and the goal is to keep students in school. |
