Health Services
The Health Services staff at Hemet Unified are here to support student wellness because healthy children learn better. We partner with families to ensure the health and safety of over 23,000 students.
Hemet USD employs eight credentialed School Nurses—Registered Nurses (RNs) certified by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing—who oversee health services districtwide. Most school sites are also staffed with Health Technicians and Health Care Specialists/Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) trained in First Aid and CPR. These team members provide basic first aid, assist with medications, support students with health needs, and maintain student health records. Specialized physical health care procedures are performed by our Health Care Specialists/LVNs.

Please contact your School Nurse if your child is under a doctor’s care for any health condition the school should be aware of, such as:
- Taking medication at home or school
- Managing conditions like asthma, allergies, seizures, diabetes, heart conditions, or mental health concerns
- Requiring special equipment (e.g., crutches, wheelchair, walker) or medical procedures (e.g., catheterization, tube feedings, ostomy care)
By Law, the school cannot administer any medication, including over-the-counter medication, or procedures without parent/guardian permission and a physician’s order. Please be advised: orders for medication or procedures must be renewed each year.
All Medication and Specialized Physical Health Care Services forms are on our District Website under the Health Services Department.

It is the responsibility of the parent to provide doctor’s orders to the school nurse prior to school entry. Please be aware that Health Technicians and Health Care Specialists will not be accepting medications prior to the medication order being reviewed and approved by the District School Nurse.
Update Health Services each year and whenever there are changes in your child’s health or plan of care.
State Law requires School Nurses to provide yearly vision and hearing screenings for grades K, 2, 5, and 8 (10th grade is optional). In addition, first-grade boys are screened for color vision.
