Our registered nurse is available on site and on-call seven (7) days a week. The nurse is Kirov’s “first line of defense” in terms of injury prevention and the overall health of our students. She initiates monthly wellness assessments for each student and addresses any health issues that arise while communicating concerns to parents/guardians and coordinating plans of care. Kirov has a long-standing relationship with an expert team of pediatric and orthopedic specialists in the DC metro area. Students are seen promptly and referred to outside specialists as needed.

Our Health and Wellness Team, which includes a nurse, nutritionist, counselor, and physical therapist, works together to ensure the health and welfare of all our students here at KAB. Each team member brings her/his expertise and experience into the program, while collaborating with other departments, outside providers, and guardians. Maintaining and fostering students’ physical, psychological, and emotional health is a top priority for KAB. Besides individual consultation and counseling, the Health and Wellness Team teaches Life Skills Classes to educate and encourage students to lead healthy lifestyles.
