Health Screenings

MTHCS Health Services staff conduct yearly vision, hearing and scoliosis screenings.  Vision and hearing screenings are Ohio Department of Health mandated.  Scoliosis screening is a recommended screening by the Ohio Department of Health.  All of these screenings are done to help facilitate early detection of health impairments. The screenings are not examinations. If a student does not pass the screening, a referral will be sent home with the recommendation that the parent/guardian make an appointment with a medical professional who will examine the child and determine if any treatment is required. Scoliosis screenings will occur for female students in sixth grade and male student in seventh grade.
