Does the SHS provide medications?
The SHS does not include a licensed pharmacy. Therefore, it cannot dispense medications. It can only administer a single dose of a medication ordered by the physician while the student is in the clinic, e.g. Tylenol or Ibuprofen for fever or pain. All medications that require regular dosing over several days, once prescribed by our physicians, have to be purchased at the local pharmacies, of which there are several in town.
