Hazel Health and Children's Memorial Hermann Partner to Provide Innovative Care Delivery Model, Integrating School-Based Health and Outpatient Pediatric Care

Hazel Health (Hazel), the national leader in school-based telehealth, and Children's Memorial Hermann, Memorial Hermann Health System's pediatric network, are committed to providing high-quality health care to children across the Greater Houston area. Today, they proudly announce their first-of-its-kind partnership to expand and enhance access to care for K-12 students throughout the region.

Through the new partnership, schools that have agreements with Hazel will be able to offer their students access to health services with Hazel, via virtual telehealth sessions while at school or home, for several health concerns. Students can then be connected with Children's Memorial Hermann pediatricians or specialists for follow-up or long-term care management, if necessary, or if a primary care medical home is needed.

"Memorial Hermann has long been a leader in bringing increased health care to students, including those who otherwise may not receive it, to keep them in school where they can learn," said Dr. David Callender, President and CEO of Memorial Hermann. "This partnership with Hazel will further our commitment to improving students' overall health and wellbeing by innovating to make care delivery more convenient and accessible for our younger populations."

Long before this latest endeavor, for over two decades Memorial Hermann has been providing medical, mental health, dental, nutritional, navigation, and exercise programming to eligible children and adolescents in more than 80 schools in the Greater Houston area through its school-based health centers, which are open year-round to serve students and their families. While the partnership with Hazel is separate from the system's Health Centers for Schools which will continue to operate separately, Memorial Hermann's investment in both of these initiatives is representative of its long-term dedication to serving school children across Greater Houston.  

Hazel is currently partnering with Aldine Independent School District in north Houston and is building partnerships with additional districts in the Greater Houston area. Through their partnership, Children's Memorial Hermann and Hazel are poised to increase access to pediatric care in schools across approximately 12 counties in southeast Texas, while also improving continuity of care for patients requiring specialty and subspecialty care. Hazel is currently contracted to serve approximately 2 million students in school districts across the country, including in the following Texas counties: Dallas, Tarrant, Kaufman, Williamson, Van Zandt, Guadalupe, Harris and Cass.
