We recognize the importance of addressing the health and medical needs of all individuals in Martha Lloyd programs. The nursing staff is responsible for managing the medical records and scheduling routine appointments and testing as required. An annual physical and any pertinent laboratory studies are scheduled along with routine examinations, including eye and dental exams. Each individual is scheduled on a monthly basis to have their weight, blood pressure, nails, ears and any other areas of concern checked.

Two physicians and licensed nurse practitioner are contracted by MLCS through the Guthrie Healthcare System. The physicians act as the primary care physician and are on site one day a week and the licensed nurse practitioner is here three days a week. If needed, individuals will be referred to other medical professionals. We work very closely with local health care providers and have identified physicians and specialists that work well with the individuals that live here.

Medications ordered by the medical providers are delivered daily and weekly (for routine medications) directly to Health Services by the pharmacy. If an individual is capable of self-medicating, they will be taught how to safely self-administer their own medications, while being carefully monitored on an on-going basis. Lastly, all staff are certified in First Aid and CPR.
