Building on past work with Proyecto Salud, the Sierra Institute, in conjunction with a diverse array of partners, uses community building and collaborative planning to develop a more integrated healthcare system by creating an innovative telehealth program to improve student health and well being, and, in turn, student learning. This networked telehealth program connects students, their families, and schools with local healthcare providers and interpreters using video conferencing equipment to increase access to the local health system. It will provide culturally and linguistically appropriate, accessible healthcare services and education that will reduce health disparities and improve the overall system of care, especially for the underserved.
