Child Eligibility
Healthy Learners provides access to health care for uninsured and underinsured students in four regions across South Carolina. These program areas include Allendale, Dillon, Georgetown, Greenwood and the Midlands. Economically disadvantaged students with identified health needs and little or no means of funding, are referred to Healthy Learners by their school nurse.
Our target population is the children who would otherwise fall through the "cracks" of the system. In the Midlands program this includes those students who are not covered by private health insurance or Medicaid and whose families do not have private pay capability. School nurses use the free/reduced lunch guidelines to help determine eligibility, however service may be determined on a case by case basis.
The student's school nurse is the liaison between Healthy Learners and the family. Once a referral is made, an appointment is scheduled with the appropriate provider and transportation is arranged. After the child's appointment, the provider's findings as well as follow-up care instructions are shared with the school nurse who in turn communicates these results to the parent/guardian.
