FOR THE RECORD RAPIDS Auburndale stration of the new system was presented for school personnel and parents in the elementary little theater this week. Parents won't have to leave work, pick up their child, take them to the clinic, and then go back to work, said Nina Antoniotti, TeleHealth program manager. Beginning in March, children will go in and see Chery Loveland, the district's medical assistant, at her office in the elementary building. The child will be examined by a pediatrician or a primarycare physician at the clinic, if necessary, Antoniotti said. This program will be the first of its kind in the state.

Antoniotti said that Loveland will do her usual initial assessment when a child comes to her office. She will then contact the parent, if needed.

If the parent and Loveland choose, they can set up a video conference appointment with a pediatrician or a primary care physician at the clinic. The parent will listen in 1 on the conference over the telephone or they can go to the doctor's office at the Marshfield Clinic, Antoniotti said. Loveland will use special scopes with video cameras attached to conduct the examination.

This grant covers a threeyear period, starting this year. A condition for receiving the grant is for the Marshfield Clinic to continue providing the service after the life of the grant.

A patient can come in and see a specialist at one of the rural facilities, Antoniotti said. The clinic's TeleHealth system has grown to the biggest in the nation, she said.
