Clinic reports vaccine clinics, new nurse hire and a mobile dental visit at a private school
Summary
Clinic staff said they will host a vaccine clinic at the YMCA, hired a new RN who will begin vaccinations in 6–8 weeks, completed clinic renovations, and school health liaison reported a mobile dental visit that served 22 children at Highland Academy.
Clinic leaders reported upcoming vaccine clinics and staffing additions, and the school health liaison said a mobile dental team provided services at a private school.
Robin Mauer, clinic, said the department will run a vaccine clinic at the YMCA on April 26 and that nurses have attended state meetings. She said the clinic has renovated its medication room and installed a larger refrigerator and that the county hired a new registered nurse who starts Monday and will be trained to vaccinate in six to eight weeks.
Kayla Terrell, the school health liaison, told the board the mobile dentist visited Highland Academy in West Terre Haute and served 22 children, with care including cleanings and oral exams; the mobile team will return every six months. Terrell said the clinic and school partners plan additional preventive services and community parenting classes.
Why it matters: Staffing increases and outreach clinics expand access to vaccinations and school-based preventive services. Renovations are intended to improve clinic storage and workflow for vaccines and medical supplies.
No formal board action was required; staff will report back with updated vaccination numbers after the YMCA clinic.
