Washington-based North Daviess Elementary school received a grant from the Indiana Rural Health Association for the telehealth technology and equipment. The telehealth program will help provide treatment for students, without having to leave school, for various conditions, including colds and eye issues.

Students who use the virtual care services can get a diagnosis as well as a prescribed medication for pickup from clinicians at the hospital.
