Goodside Health

Goodside Health is a provider of school-based telehealth and screening services. The company's primary offering is SchoolMed, an innovative school-based telehealth program that enables students and staff to virtually consult with age-appropriate doctors or nurse practitioners for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of common conditions and ailments within the school setting. The SchoolMed program is designed to empower school nurses and provide districts with tools and resources to maintain a safe, healthy environment focused on academic achievement.

Goodside Health's services include virtual care visits, on-site rapid Covid-19, flu, and strep tests, as well as over-the-counter medications and necessary supplies to deliver quality care at no cost to schools. The company expanded its offerings to include Wellness + Sports Physicals, launched in April 2021, which provide holistic assessments for students, particularly those preparing for sports participation. This program aims to extend care offerings to students in need of year-round support.

Key customers and partnerships

Goodside Health partnered with more than 70 school districts across Texas. The company formed a significant partnership with Superior HealthPlan, a leading managed care organization in Texas, to bring virtual care to children in school districts across the state. This collaboration allows children, whether members of Superior HealthPlan or not, to access high-quality care when needed.

The partnership with Superior HealthPlan also supports members of the state's STAR Health Medicaid program for children and youth in foster care. As part of this initiative, Goodside Health offers on-demand telehealth services statewide to STAR Health members and provides critical Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) 2.0 Assessments in the El Paso area.
