DIABETES
From Erica Anderson:
The entire month of November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Give those around you fighting this disease an extra squeeze this month.
HERO KIDS
*NURSES – Please encourage your families of students with complicated or chronic health conditions, developmental disabilities or mental health conditions to register for this program. Currently, there are only 11 children in Bend/La Pine that are registered with this program.
*Encourage your schools to include this information in their family newsletters.
HERO Kids Registry is a voluntary, no-cost system that lets any Oregon family record critical health information about their child before an emergency. Registry information can be accessed quickly by EMS and hospital emergency departments at the moment they need it.
Registering with HERO Kids is especially useful for young people who are medically fragile, or for those who have complex conditions, developmental disabilities, or mental health conditions. Young people in a crisis can’t always communicate their needs. Family members may not be present, or they may too distressed to help. Language barriers can impede communication. HERO Kids Registry can help offset some of these challenges.
Parents and legal guardians can register their child or young adult with HERO Kids online, and there is a paper registration option for people who prefer it. Young adults aged 15-26 can register themselves. HERO Kids Registry is secure and HIPAA-compliant.
Please share this information with your families in your next family newsletter. It is specifically for Families of Students with Complicated or Chronic
Health Conditions, Developmental Disabilities or Mental Health Conditions.
