Providing
Specialty Health Care Services
Rawlins County Health Center provides
access to routine specialty health care
services without leaving your community. Outreach physicians provide
health care services on a monthly basis
in several areas...
 |
Coumadin
Out-Patient Program
The use of
Coumadin must be
monitored closely to
ensure correct dosage
and to minimize the risk
of bleeding due to
excessive blood
thinning.
Our
Clinical nurse works
closely with your
physician to see that
your needs are met. You
will find it reassuring
to know that a nurse
will always be available
to answer your
questions.
Educational
Opportunities
Diabetic patients and
their families are
offered a complete
understanding of the
disease process of
diabetes and the ability
to use basic tools for
their diabetic care.
Blue Cross / Blue
Shield and Medicare
approved programs
provide education on the
basic tools of diabetic
care: food, fitness,
medications and
monitoring.
