Pratt Regional Medical Center - Youth Substance Abuse Prevention
What is it?
Pratt Regional Medical Center (PRMC) has formed a relationship with the Pratt County Sheriff and local schools in an effort to prevent substance abuse among our youth. Willy Peltier, a physician assistant employed by Pratt Regional Medical Center, along with Pratt County Sheriff Vernon Chinn, have completed several substance abuse prevention presentations to local middle and high school students. Following the presentations, students requested that Willy also be a guest speaker at the local youth rally because the students had chosen "Substance Abuse Prevention" as their topic of concern. PRMC plans to continue working with local law enforcement and school to assist in the prevention of substance abuse among our youth.
Who is it for?
Young people in our area.
Why do they do it?
Many people and organizations are doing something to prevent substance abuse among our youth, and joining together with local law enforcement, local schools and other organizations as a united community, we can have a greater impact and positive results.
