Our trained professionals provide immediate care, documentation, and recommendations for follow-up care when necessary. For serious or life-threatening emergencies, we recommend calling 911.

Sometimes. At QuickCare, the ability to treat a student depends on their age and consent. For students over the age of 18, they can provide their own consent for treatment by our QuickCare medical professionals. For K-12 students (under the age of 18), signed parental consent from at least one parent or legal guardian must be given before any treatment can be administered. This is because, as minors, these students cannot legally consent to medical services. Please bring this up with your QuickCare representative to discuss the specific consent procedures and how QuickCare can best support your school's health and safety needs.

School bus drivers with Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) are subject to Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing requirements, including:

• Pre-employment testing: Required before a driver performs safety-sensitive functions

Respirator fit testing provides several important benefits for science laboratory staff:

• Protection from chemical fumes: Ensures proper protection when working with volatile chemicals that generate potentially harmful vapors
• Regulatory compliance: Helps educational institutions meet OSHA requirements for respiratory protection
• Proper fit verification: Confirms that respirators form an effective seal, as facial features and sizes vary among individuals
• Training opportunity: Staff learn correct donning, doffing, and maintenance procedures during testing
• Documentation: Provides records of testing for compliance purposes

Our mobile testing brings the service directly to your facility, minimizing disruption to laboratory operations and teaching schedules.
