Hi! I’m Mrs. Heaphy.
As the school nurse I am responsible for administering scheduled medications, assessing student/staff health, assisting students/staff during health emergencies, completing routine screenings, and encouraging/educating students and staff on healthy habits! I am also quite skilled in other tasks such as band-aiding, ice packing, snack dispensing and "watering"!
I am very passionate about preventative healthcare, education and helping others make sense of their own health and individual needs. Middle school aged children are in a very unique and special point in their lives as they are managing hormone surges, body changes, relationship building, academics, athletics and trying to figure out where they fit in. I strongly believe that we cannot manage these changes if our health is failing! I like to approach my practice with a focus on educating students about their health so students come away from my office with more than a bandaid, asprin, or waterbottle.
It is an honor and a privilege to care for your child’s safety and wellbeing while they are here with us at BMS!
Thank you!
