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.
