Although students may schedule a visit to a local health clinic for acute diagnoses, most injuries and illnesses require transport to the emergency room. Personal health insurance is required for attendance at any program and the Medical Release Form in the acceptance packet mailing must be completed. All medications, including all non-prescriptions such as pain relievers or vitamin supplements must be stored in the Residential Director’s office. The only exceptions to this policy will be for urgent medications such as asthma inhalers, epinephrine devices, or insulin. CBK staff members will not administer medications (they will only be monitored), except in the event of a life-saving emergency. Transportation costs to clinics and/or hospitals are the responsibility of the family—CBK attempts to use the least expensive transport mode when possible.
