Hi Raiders!
This is Margaret McLean, your school nurse, writing. I'd like to welcome you back to another school year at Southwest High School and introduce you to one of your school's finest resources: the health office!
Located in room 201 the health office is run by the school nurse (me), my colleague Aileen Serrano, and various people from San Ysidro Health Center.
Any student not feeling well is welcome to be evaluated by me during the school day. Unless it's an emergency (sudden onset of illness, asthma, vomiting) please come during nutrition break or lunch. If visiting during class time you will need a pass from your teacher.
I've been a registered nurse since 2002. My background is in women's health (labor and delivery, prenatal care, reproductive health) and hospice (end of life) I love to talk to students about health related issues!
San Ysidro Health Center, in collaboration with the Scripps Family Medicine Residency Program, offers a family medicine doctor on campus Monday through Thursday mornings. The doctors can treat illnesses, accidents, perform sports physicals and offer assistance for families to enroll in health coverage programs such as MediCal and Covered California. Referrals can be made for more complicated medical issues and dental care.
In order for medical services to be provided to students on campus, we must have parent permission. You can find permission slips here (insert link) or in the health office.
We are open from 7-3 Monday through Friday. We close for lunch from 12:20-1:20.
