Healthier Students, Fewer Absences

To help your students in Geauga County stay healthy and help you reduce absences, we offer Rapid-Flu and Rapid-Strep screenings. With flu season just around the corner, screenings will help to keep your school healthy by treating promptly those students who may be infectious. Our lab will provide the necessary supplies to your clinicians. Specimens will be picked up each day by courier. Results will be available that evening. And the cost will be minimal.
