Services are provided in a clinic setting by a registered nurse and a licensed practical nurse.

These agencies include Flint Hills Community Health Center, Project TEEN, SOS, SRS, Court Services, Newman Regional Health Center, Mental Health Center of East Central Kansas, ECKAN, and private physician/dentist/optometrist offices.
