Health Services Program
is run by our School Nurse, Juanita Schiewek. The Health
Services program helps take care of students who get sick or injured
while at school, and gets them to more in-depth medical help if needed.
Health Services also schedules clinics and arranges
doctors'
and dentists' appointments. The Health Services Program also
runs bi-monthly
medication management clinics, and directly administers daily
medication to those who need it.
On the
preventative
side, The Health Services Program conducts annual otological, vision,
scoliosis,
height and weight, and Hansen's Disease screenings. It also
helps train the dormitory houseparents and
collaborates with the Department of Health and other health agencies as
needed.
HCDB's
Health Services Staff is composed of School Nurse Juanita Schiewek, and a few
Licensed Practical Nurses, who are contracted from an
outside agency to work one-on-one with some of our students, although they help out in many ways
