Medical Staff
Proper medical care is very important for our students. Our nursing staff ensures that the students are medically cared for. They also coordinate psychiatric care. The Psychiatrist comes to campus for one day each week to meet with the students who need a follow-up check on medications, initial consultation, or medication change. The nursing staff consists of a Nursing Director, who is an RN, another RN or LPN nurse, and a CNA.
