LAUSD Announces Launch of New Kokomo24/7® Telehealth Service

June 29, 2023

In an effort to improve access to physical and mental well-being medical services, advance health equity for underserved populations, and address a nation-wide shortage of school counselor resources, Los Angeles Unified School District has awarded a contract to long-time software partner Kokomo24/7® to pilot telehealth services to their community members.

Telehealth for the LAUSD Community

Kokomo24/7®, who already provides the district with compliance software tools to manage initiatives such as anonymous reporting, emergency alert, wellness and immunization tracking, visitor management, patrol management, event management, and more, brings decades of experience in both public and private sector health and safety.

LAUSD students, staff, and community members can soon use Kokomo24/7®’s WELLNESS™ service to gain access to both mental health and physical health medical services. The Telehealth tool will provide:

Improvements to learning environments and opportunities by mitigating the inefficiencies of traditional healthcare access
Convenient access to medical professionals specializing in general medicine, orthopedics, pediatrics and more
Convenient access to mental health medical professionals
Ability to schedule appointments on the go, in the class, and from home
Ability to conduct appointments from anywhere

Improved and immediate access to resources unavailable in person
Advancement of medical health equity to underserved populations

Los Angeles Unified takes an active approach in providing resources that support the whole child by fostering academic excellence, physical wellbeing and social emotional health,” LAUSD Superintendent said in a statement.
