About Us

VCH Public Health works to improve the health and well-being of residents through preventing disease, promoting health and prolonging life among the population as a whole. We do this in the school population by providing immunizations as well as sharing health information with staff, parents/guardians and school-aged children.

This is done with VCH values in mind:

We care for everyone
We are always learning
We strive for better results

The School Health Medical Management website was designed as an educational tool to learn about some of the most common health conditions we support schools to manage.
