This program provides care for moderately ill children ranging in age from three months to 12 years at BryanLGH Medical Center East (located just north of Sumner Street on 51st Street) from 6:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Although program care givers cannot diagnose illnesses or replace the need for a physician's expertise regarding medical care, they can provide supervision, dispense prescription medications as needed, and provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks. Numerous steps are taken to minimize the risk of exposing participating children to new cantabions while recuperating from their current illness. For example, children will be assigned to one of two rooms based on their illnesses. Each room has a sparate ventilation system to prevent air flow from one room into the other. In all cases, a physician's diagnosis is required when symptoms indicate a potential of a contagious illness. Parent will need to complete a registration
form that includes general information on the child's
health and immunization status. (The registration form
can also be completed at the center.) Since space is
limited, reservations are required and accepted in the
order they are received. Since space is limited, reservations
