Welcome to Airport Community Schools' Health Services Department!
School nursing focuses on keeping your child healthy and safe throughout the school year. This is done through multiple avenues: evidence-based practice, collaboration with useful resources, promoting healthy lifestyle choices and the coordination of student-centered care.
If your student has a specific condition, chronic or acute, please contact our school nurses.
Hello! My name is Katie Dobbertin, or “Nurse Kate." I am the District Nurse for Airport Community Schools.
I have been a Registered Nurse since 2007, spending the majority of my career (15 years) at Henry Ford Hospital as an Emergency Department RN.
Transitioning to the school nurse role was an easy decision, since it combines my two interests, health and education. It also allows me to work where my three kids attend school, while investing in the community that I care so deeply for.
I love interacting with students and enjoy working alongside Airport's staff and parents, while focusing on district health.
