Camp Meds: Improved medication distribution |
|
In our on-going commitment to meet the needs of our campers who require medication while at camp, this summer we will be working with CampMeds Inc., a pre-packaging medication program founded by a former camp nurse. CampMeds has been servicing the camping industry for the past 10 summers providing the convenient service of dispensing, packaging and shipping medications directly to summer camps. This program will benefit campers in several ways. It will:
- Reduce the amount of time that campers spend waiting in line to receive daily medications, allowing them to spend more time involved in camp programs.
- Ensure that the proper medications are dispensed at the proper time, minimizing the chance of human error.
- Keep Tawonga in compliance with applicable laws and American Camp Association guidelines.
All campers who take daily medications will be required to utilize CampMeds and their services. CampMeds operates as a regular pharmacy, working directly with most insurance companies. As a fee for their service, CampMeds charges a $50 fee, plus any regular copayment charges.
More information will be provided after registration. In the meantime, if you have questions about the program, please contact us - we're happy to help! We are confident that this program will help us achieve our primary goal: the health, well-being and safety of your child.
