Health

Consulting with pediatricians and/or nurses can be very helpful as you formulate your program's health policies. Every program should start by having a physical health form as well as an immunization form, signed by a pediatrician or family practitioner, on file for each child.

Public Health Nursing, a program of the Department of Human Services, can also assist child care programs with health related issues. For a location near you, go to www.state.me.us/dhs/bohdcfh/phn or call the Maine Burea of Health at 287-8016
