Family Day Home Perspective on Proposed Epinephrine Rule
 

I am a licensed Family Day Home provider. Unlike centers, we do not have nurses on site, and epinephrine is a serious medical treatment that normally requires a doctor’s prescription. It is also very costly for small home programs. It would be safer and more appropriate for parents to provide the prescribed epinephrine for their own child. Please consider these concerns for Family Day Home providers.
