HEALTH UNIT
Pan American has two Health Units, one on each campus, to facilitate student well-being and health. School nurses are here to ensure the health and confort of each student at Pan American. Our dedicated team of experienced nurse and nurse technicians is committed to providing scientific-based care, support, and health education to students, parents, and staff.
At our Health Units, we offer a variety of custom-made services to meet our students' individual needs. From routine check-ups and first aid to managing chronic conditions and providing health counseling, we are committed to fostering a culture of wellness and empowering students to make informed decisions about their health. We strive to create a nurturing environment where students feel comfortable seeking health-related help and advice.
