Kanga Care Clinics
What is Kanga Care?
Kanga Care is a partnership between Weatherford ISD and Parker County Hospital District Outreach Program to provide medical care onsite at each campus. Through the use of telemedicine and the MedPod Medical Cart, the healthcare needs of both staff and students can be met in a convenient setting with each campus nurse.
Kanga Care is a minor care center. We treat minor issues that include but are not limited to:
Fever
Sore throat
Rashes
Allergies
Ear pain
Eye infections (pink eye)
Flu-like illnesses
Diagnostic laboratory procedures available include:
- blood glucose level
- streptococcal pharyngitis
- mononucleosis
- influenza A and B
Kanga Care’s purpose is to increase the educational success of students and staff by assuring access to healthcare. Early treatment can decrease the need for expensive medical care and unnecessary Emergency Room visits.

Mental Health Awareness
Start with Hello
"We want everyone to feel included, welcome and happy here at school."
Start With Hello Week will be held campus-wide to promote kindness and empathy while empowering students to end social isolation. It's a dedicated time for the community to focus on the power of connectedness, kindness, and helping one another.
