Gaston County Schools is partnering with Kintegra Health to provide a school-based telehealth clinic, giving students access to medical care without leaving campus.

Through the telehealth clinic, students can connect with a Kintegra Health medical provider using secure video technology. A trained clinical professional will be with the student during the visit to assist with the exam and communicate with the provider.

For more information, visit the Gaston County Schools / Kintegra Health Telehealth Clinic webpage.

Parents should make sure that their child’s school has up-to-date contact information (home address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc.) on file.  Parents should contact the school office to provide updates.
