Jan 15, 2025 - As wildfires continue to affect communities throughout the greater Los Angeles area, Hazel Health is offering all partner districts throughout L.A. County access to free online urgent care services through the end of February. Students can access virtual physical and mental health care services at no cost — without leaving their homes or shelters.
“As the wildfires continue throughout Los Angeles, we see the magnitude of stress and disruption that thousands of students and families are facing. Hazel’s founding belief is that every student deserves unfettered access to physical and mental healthcare. This becomes even more critical in times of crisis. As such, we are offering our district partners all the tools available at our disposal to support those affected by this tragedy,” said Josh Golomb, CEO, Hazel Health.
“Our schools are more than classrooms — they're a lifeline of safety and support for countless families. Our partnership with Hazel has been an essential resource since the COVID-19 pandemic and we are pleased to supplement PUSD mental health services for our families impacted by the Eaton Fire.” – Superintendent Elizabeth Blanco, Ed.D., Pasadena Unified School District.
Due to the acute nature of conditions that might arise, Hazel's pediatric clinicians can help with respiratory issues (including wheezing, coughing, and asthma flares), eye irritation, skin concerns and rashes, and medication refills. Hazel’s therapists are also on stand by to support students' mental health and well-being.
