POLICIES
School & Camp Forms

To ensure the safety of all our student & adult patients, we require a recent scheduled office visit with a physician or a nursing visit during our regular office hours regarding the completing of any form (i.e. school, camp, work or FMLA). Current information is critical regarding the treatment of life threatening conditions. So, parents/guardians and patients needing these forms completed, please schedule your visit.
Please hand your forms to the front desk at the time of your visit.
The increased complexity of the multiple forms that exist now require our staff 10 to14 days to complete.

Lastly, please read our letter from our physician staff.

Patients Under 18 Years Old

Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If an adult other than a parent is going to bring the patient please have the parent complete an AQI – Allowed Qualified Individual Form to comply with HIPAA Privacy rules.
