Health Services

          Proper health care is vital to a child’s development.  Sometimes a lack of education hampers a parent’s judgment when it comes to caring for children’s health needs.  At other times, proper health care is overlooked due to a lack of money.  Many of the students at Falling Water are eligible for free and reduced meals due to the low income of their parents.  There are a number of agencies in the Chattanooga area designed to help meet the health care needs of children who fall into this category.  Programs have been established to provide services ranging from nutrition to immunizations to education regarding health issues.
