        Emergency Health Information

        As a parent or guardian, I authorize the treatment of my minor child by a qualified physician  for treatment of illness or accidents of a more serious nature.  I understand that I will be promptly notified in the event of any serious illness or accident and prior to any major surgery, except when delay in such communication would endanger life. In case of a medical emergency, I understand that every effort will be made to contact the parents/guardian of the student.  In the event that I cannot be reached, I hereby give permission to the physician selected by the adult staff to hospitalize, secure proper treatment for, and/or injection, anesthesia or surgery, if deemed necessary for my child.
