General Services

•     The nursing staff of the Wayne County Health Department provides many other services to the people of Wayne County besides the clinical and home health services they do on a regular basis. 
   

•        School Health - Our nurses assist the school nurses in providing care to our school children.  They especially assist in providing Hepatitis B vaccinations to 6th graders, a vaccination program in place now for several years.
  
  

•        Student Athlete Physicals - Student athletes are required to have a physical exam before participating in sport competition.  Our nurses and our medical director provide physicals for no cost to these athletes.  These are scheduled by school personnel.  They also provide Special Olympic physicals for those students involved in Special Olympic competition.
  
  

•        Health Fairs - Our nursing staff attend local health fairs and provide educational materials to the public and usually will provide blood pressure exams or other screens while at the fairs.
