HEALTH POLICIES

WHEN A CADET BECOMES ILL AT JLBC

JLBC - Junior Leadership Bootcamp personnel, including the JLBC nurse and consulting physician, are empowered to render only first aid and emergency care. They may not diagnose or give treatment. JLBC Parents are contacted if the services of a physician seem to be necessary.

In case of a severe emergency, every effort will be made to contact the family immediately. If the family cannot be contacted, we will call the one or two responsible adults designated on the registration form in order. Please keep these names and numbers current by immediately notifying the Central office, in writing, of any changes.

If a cadet must be sent home due to illness or injury, parents are notified. A cadet is never sent home alone, even if they are 18 years old. Cadets sent to the Health Office may rest for 20 minutes; after that time, they must return to class or be sent home.

JLBC - Junior Leadership Bootcamp has a policy that every family is to have plans for the prompt pick up of their cadets from a JLBC location in the event of injury or illness. If both parents work, they are to designate friends or relatives that are available during program hours to take the cadet home. The Health Office cannot provide long-term care for cadets waiting to go home. Cadets need to be picked up as soon as possible from the time contact is made.

Cadets that are sick are not to use cell phones to call parents. They must ask for a pass to go to the JLBC nurse.
