Health Office
Welcome to the Hanover High School Health Office Site!
The HHS Health Office is open 5 days a week, on scheduled school days. This is a busy office which services the student body, teachers, and staff members.
Our Staff:
Kathryn Bonyai, Candace Nattie and Lynn McRae
Candace Nattie, Kathryn Bonyai and Lynn McRae are all Registered Nurses who manage the operation of the Health Office. We work as a team to provide the HHS population with supportive health car throughout the school year. Our responsibilities include (but not limited to) the following:
- Assessment, and referral if needed, of illnesses, injuries and infectious diseases.
- Health screenings of vision, hearing, blood pressure, height, and weight.
- Annual Staff and Student Influenza Clinics
- Coordination and operation of the HHS Concussion Management Program, for students who sustain a concussion during the school year.
- Dispensing prescription and over-the-counter medications, as needed.
- Maintaining student immunization records and state reporting of compliance.
- Providing disease surveillance, and reporting infectious diseases to the State of NH when appropriate (i.e. Influenza).
- Ongoing health counseling, including stress reduction.
Our services are coordinated with the Hanover High School Health Education and Counseling programs. Our goal is to assist students to make healthy life-style choices, to learn to take responsibility for their health, and to become advocates for their own health care needs.
Please feel free to contact us at any time if your child has any changes in their health status. We want to work with students, families, and the school staff to make sure your adolescent's health care needs are being met in the school setting.
