Children in Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) will soon see a school nurse provided by America-Loving Care Home Health (ALC Home Health). ALC Home Health’s contract with MDCPS will provide comprehensive health services to schools across Miami.
Growing with Gazitua’s Guidance
ALC Home Health has served residents of Miami-Dade and Monroe counties for almost 20 years. Both licensed and nationally accredited, the company manages the nursing care of patients daily and employs hundreds of nurses and nursing assistants.
After a lengthy process, with support from Gazitua Letelier throughout, the contract was awarded to ALC Home Health for school nursing services for both the exceptional student education (ESE) and the comprehensive health services.
Raymond Rodriguez-Torres, President and co-CEO of ALC said: "To care for the children of Miami-Dade County is an extraordinary privilege. We are grateful to Luis Andre Gazitua for his council and to M-DCPS School Board and Administration for their trust. We are honored for the opportunity to serve the children of our community. Ensuring the health and well-being of children is a passion for all of us at ALC."
Expanding by Working with MDCPS
The school system in Miami-Dade currently educates over 345,000 students in 392 schools. It is the fourth largest district in the nation. That’s 345,000 new patients that ALC Home Health may be responsible for, in addition to the 40,000 staff, teachers, administrators, and more employed by the school system.
Rolando Medina Chairman and Co-CEO of ALC said: "For almost 20 years, ALC has strived to meet the highest standards of nursing care for both adults and children in Miami. We are excited and grateful to have been awarded this contract and work in partnership with the MDCPS board and staff."
ALC Home Health is currently increasing its staffing to meet the schools' requirements. Nurses are already being deployed to schools throughout the county. If you are a nurse interested in exploring an opportunity as a school nurse, please contact ALC at 305-828-5310
