SCHOOL
HEALTH CORPORATION HELPS DEFRAY COST OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
FOR ITS SCHOOL NURSE CUSTOMERS
HANOVER
PARK, Ill - April 2007 - With
educational budget cuts occurring across many of the nation's school districts,
most school nurses must foot their own bill when it comes to professional
development activities. With a new plan from School Health Corporation,
however, many of these nurses will soon be able to defray the cost of these
valuable activities. School Health, the leading supplier of medical products
to school nurses, is offering the opportunity for its loyal customers to
receive ADVANTAGE™ points that can be applied to the purchase of National
Association of School Nurse (NASN) books, membership dues, and annual meeting
registration fees - even up to $1,000 of hotel and airfare expenses for
the national conference.
"School nursing has evolved rapidly over the past decade," said
Susan Rogers, President, School Health Corporation. "And dedicated
school nurses are constantly striving to keep abreast of the numerous advances.
With our new ADVANTAGE™ program, we're able to help our loyal customers
to stay current in their chosen profession and continue the tradition of
quality care for the students they serve."
Similar to airline frequent flier programs, the ADVANTAGE™ program
rewards loyal customers with points. ADVANTAGE™ participants receive
one point for every dollar of School Health Corporation merchandise ordered.
These points can then be applied to NASN professional developmental activities.
For example, 1,000 points entitles participants to a $25 credit toward the
NASN bookstore. Participation also entitles school nurses to an immediate
three-month trial subscription to School Health Alert, an independent,
printed newsletter since 1986 it is the United States' most respected publisher
of current school health information.
Established in 1977, the National Association of School Nurses is a nonprofit
specialty nursing organization with 14,000 members and 51 affiliates.
School Health Corporation is the leading supplier of medical supplies and
equipment to school
nurses, athletic trainers, and other specialty healthcare professionals.
More than 60,000 schools rely on School Health for their medical supply
needs. Founded in 1950, the company has evolved from a specialized distributor
of basic supplies to a consultative solutions provider for major health
initiatives including vision and hearing screening, emergency response preparedness,
infection control, and wellness plans. Located in a 50,000 square-foot facility
in Hanover Park, Ill., School Health Corporation fulfills orders generated
through its national sales force, direct mail catalogs, and e-commerce websites.
