ADDITIONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION

Parents or legal guardians are responsible for their youth's medical needs while detained. Each parent should fill out a medical questionnaire giving medical history, insurance carrier, and specific medical needs of the youth.

If the youth is receiving prescription medication, the parent or guardian should bring a sufficient supply to the Detention Center, along with full instructions of how it should be administered. Prescription medication must be in its original container with a current expiration date, with the youth's name on it. Information of any illness such as diabetes, epilepsy, recent surgery, or unusual habits such as bedwetting or sleepwalking, should be made known to the youth's Probation Officer or to Detention Medical Staff as soon as possible.

Parents and legal guardians who have questions or concerns regarding the health of their youth should call the Detention Center medical office at (520) 724-5093.
