Schools in the pilot program were chosen based on absenteeism rates and the number of students with chronic conditions at each location.
LOS ANGELES — In a first-of-its-kind partnership, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Unified School District have partnered to offer virtual health care visits for children at 20 area schools based on absenteeism rates and the number of students with chronic conditions at each location, it was announced Wednesday.
Set to begin on the first day of the 2023-24 school year, the program will be available to existing CHLA patients aged 12 and older who attend a participating LAUSD school. The virtual appointments will be offered in the specialty areas of Adolescent Medicine, Allergy and Immunology, Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, Endocrinology, Infectious Diseases, Medical Genetics and Pulmonology.
According to CHLA, telehealth visits have skyrocketed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, about 470 virtual appointments were conducted by CHLA annually, but that number now exceeds 42,000. Officials said using telehealth is a benefit for students, allowing them to receive care without sacrificing classroom time.

Moms for Liberty rises as power player in GOP politics after attacking schools over gender, raceTo anti-hate researchers, it’s a well-connected extremist group that attacks inclusion in schools. Moms for Liberty didn't exist during the last presidential campaign, but the Florida-based nonprofit that champions “parental rights” in education has rapidly become a major player for 2024, boosted in part by GOP operatives, politicians and donors. The group that has been at the forefront of the conservative movement targeting books that reference race and gender identity and electing right-wing candidates to local school boards nationwide is hosting one of the next major gatherings for Republican presidential primary contenders.
