FLORIDA DIABETES CAMP

The UF chapter serves the Gainesville community through volunteerism, health advocacy, and philanthropy. AED is partnering with and supporting Florida Diabetes Camp (FDC), a nonprofit organization that provides life-changing camp experiences and support for children living with Type 1 diabetes.

ALACHUA COUNTY SCHOOL NURSES

The Alachua County Public School Health Services program provides professional and compassionate health care to students during their school day.  Their mission is to promote and maintain the physical and mental well being of our students to ensure their success at school.  As nurses, they encourage healthy lifestyles.  School health staff follow Health Handbook procedures, which are updated by the School Health Advisory Council.  The School Health Plan is also updated yearly and outlines specific nursing interventions for the school year.  Parent and staff involvement and input is welcome.

Satchel's is providing the Alachua County Nursing Staff a back to school lunch in appreciation for all the care and comittment these wonderful health care professionals provide to the students of Alachua County.
