OCSD Telehealth
Orangeburg County School District is pleased to partner with Palmetto Care Connections, a non-profit telehealth network, to connect rural and underserved South Carolina families and individuals to quality virtual health services.
S.M.A.R.T. (Students’ Medical Access to Resources in Telehealth) Virtual Health Collaborative, a conduit that, in concert with the school district’s deployment of student technology (laptops, chromebooks and iPads), puts much-needed remote access to medical care in the hands of each OCSD family.
The S.M.A.R.T. Virtual Health Collaborative app appears now on all district-issued devices and leads to a webpage of telehealth providers offering virtual services to families. Students and families can begin accessing telehealth services through the district’s website by clicking on the S.M.A.R.T Virtual Health Collaborative app and selecting the provider of their choice.
Students and families are encouraged to please clean their technology device after each telehealth visit. The use of a simple disinfectant wipe or a disinfectant applied to a cloth for cleaning the device is recommended.
