School Outreach
Allen County is home to thousands of K-12 students, and we're dedicated to helping ensure each of them is healthy and able to learn.
The role of the School Liaison is to connect every school in Allen County with the services and resources of the Allen County Department of Health. Our trainings and program offerings are focused on prevention and raising awareness of health concerns in our community.
This partnership allows us to assist those working in schools with any health-related challenges they face, in order to ensure the best health outcomes for their students.
School Services
The School Liaison can help coordinate a wide range of services for Allen County schools. The services are free and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of each school.
We now offer Stop the Bleed, American Heart Association CPR/AED, Catch My Breath and Safe Sitter courses to students and school staff. Those interested should contact the School Liaison for details about the courses and to schedule them at their schools.
Public Health Student Heroes
