Medical Services Department Kapalama Campus Services available to students The Medical Services Department provides medical evaluation, first aid, urgent/emergent care, and referral services for all students as well as inpatient care to boarding students. Students will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis as they sign in except in the case of an emergency, which will take precedence. There is no charge to students who are seen at Hale Ola. However the cost of medications and some laboratory tests provided to students from Hale Ola is charged to the Parents/Guardians of the student, and is billed through normal billing procedures. Medical evaluation is the process of being evaluated by the Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, or Clinical Director to determine any health problem and recommendations for treatment First Aid Care is defined as any minor medical care given to an individual who has been injured suddenly or becomes ill and is usually provided by the nurse. Urgent/Emergent Care is medical care of a more serious nature such as a fracture, laceration, severe wheezing, etc. The student is evaluated by the Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, or Clinical Director and possibly referred to the Emergency Room or private physician/dentist for evaluation and treatment. Referral Services and transportation are provided to boarding students when treatment, testing or services not available at Hale Ola are necessary as part of the evaluation and treatment of the student. Inpatient care is care provided to boarding students who require ongoing medical supervision, yet, their care does not necessitate hospitalization. While KS provides these medical services for the students, final and complete responsibility for the health of the students rests with the parents/guardians of the students. KS does not assume responsibility for treating any student who appears to be under the influence of any drug, chemical, alcohol, or any other intoxicating or mood-altering substance. However, it reserves the right to administer emergency treatment in connection with any physical disability or accident resulting from the above influence.
