Health Services
At Saint Margaret's School, students have access to our Health and Wellness
Clinic where our full-time registered nurse, Tracy Heal-Guarascio, is on-site
Monday to Friday providing care for students with illnesses or injuries. In
the evenings and on week-ends she is on-call in order to attend to students
as needed or to be available to Residence staff for advice. As Health Care
manager, she facilitates school preventative health care programs such as
immunization and health education, coordinates the various medical services
for our boarding students, and ensures that specific needs of all students
are met while they are at school. We encourage you to discuss any health
concerns with our School Nurse such that we may adequately and safely care
for our students while they are here at St. Margaret's.
Dr. Ann Van der Linden, the School's Physician, visits the school twice
weekly to attend to individual student appointments and provide an on-site
medical clinic for the school. The Physician is available for consultation
and emergencies through contacting the nurse at the Health and Wellness
Clinic.
At St. Margaret's School, it is our goal to promote physical and emotional
wellness by educating and counseling students about healthy lifestyle
choices. The Health and Wellness Team consists of our nurse, counsellor (Ingrid
Rueffel) and the school physician. Students and parents are welcome to share
problems or issues which may be health or personal in nature and may be
assured that discussions with the nurse or any members of the Health and
Wellness Team will be kept in confidence and shared only with consent to
do so.
Tracy Heal-Guarascio, our School Nurse, may be reached at the Health and
Wellness Clinic at 479-5755 or e-mail at
tguarascio@stmarg.ca.
