Hazel Health, the nation’s leading provider of school-based telehealth services, has been named an approved vendor by the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) under eRFI 41400-DOE0000094 for Student Mental Telehealth Services. This designation affirms Hazel as a pre-vetted partner that districts can engage to bring high-quality, school-based mental health services directly to students in grades 6–12.
