The mission of the Burr and Burton
onsite Health Clinic is to enhance the quality of our students' lives by caring
for their physical and mental health, and by educating them to become
responsible partners with the health-care community.
The Clinic’s goals and objectives are to:
· form
a partnership with students.
· provide
an easily accessible and confidential health care environment.
· promote
healthy adolescent development through education.
· identify
potential problems early.
· identify,
treat and refer students with medical and psychological needs.

healthy habits.

The Health Clinic is located on the
first floor of the Advancement Office Building. It is open to all students for
information, but only students who are registered with the clinic may be
treated. Registration forms may be found on the clinic web site, or students
may stop by the clinic to pick up a form. The clinic is open during normal
school hours. Students must obtain a pass from their teacher to leave class and
visit the clinic. Students will be given a pass from the Health Clinic to
return to class.
All medications (prescription, over
the counter and herbal) must be brought to the Health Clinic in the original bottle and administered by a school nurse. Students taking or
possessing medications outside the Health Clinic may face significant
consequences.
Parents should inform the Health Clinic if their
student has an acute or life-threatening medical or mental health conditions.
Sharing of this information will help the clinic staff assist your student in
the event of an emergency, as well as allow for optimal coordination of
care.
Health records including immunization
records are located in the Health Clinic and are locked up at all times. Upon
graduation, seniors are given their school health record. Burr and Burton does
not retain copies of this record or of students' immunization records.
Therefore, we recommend that this information be kept safe and accessible, as
it is needed for future education and employment endeavors.
