Streamline the process of gathering important health-related information during online registration by utilizing health custom field questions. Creating these questions in jmc Office allows families to easily provide necessary health information, such as current medications, allergies, and more, through free text, medication tables, or allergy tables in jmc Family. These responses are then compiled and organized in the Health module of jmc Office for future reference, providing a convenient and comprehensive resource for your school's health needs.
