29 days of joy....

ok, so...i have been in charge for 29 days...so far...and i must say that i have been moving and shaking every moment.....in the past 24 hours i have offered a local school district a part-time school nurse, whose services we can bill to 3rd party payers.....at little or no cost to the school system.....and i have figured out that i can use tax dollars to pay for gardisil for uninsured women aged 19-25...women who have aged out of medicare but who could still benefit from this vaccine......this is huge.....and that i can send our nurses to the county schools to do dental varnish for preschoolers (a fluoride treatment) and buy carseats and booster seats with tax dollars for people who cannot afford them.....and partner with the red cross to plan for disaster rather than paying for a planner on our own....yes...this has been a big month....and i am overjoyed to have taken advantage of what one person in charge can do......
