Consolidated Institutional Business Services
The Business Office is responsible for overseeing the patient funds accounts, processing travel requests for families to visit with the patients, reporting of Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and Title 19 (Medicaid) to the federal government, local purchases, and managing the Hardship Grant fund requests.
Dietary
We have a full complement of dietary staff on site. All cottages are equipped with staffed kitchens. The cooks prepare three full meals and a healthy snack according to a menu planned by the dietary service manager and a registered dietitian. Special diets may be prepared according to the physician's orders. We also prepare and serve treats for special occasions, such as birthdays and holidays, and for various cottage activities, including open houses, camping, and the summer carnival.
CSTC participates in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. All eligible participants who are CSTC patients or who attend Firwood Secondary School in the Transitional Day Student Program are provided with the benefits of Child Nutrition Programs. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
Custodial staff
Custodial staff interact with the children daily to encourage and support cottage cleanliness. While the primary counselor encourages the children to take out dirty laundry, pick up their rooms, and brush their teeth, the custodian is responsible for the cleanliness of the cottage and all other CSTC buildings.
Medical Records
Medical Records is staffed with personnel trained in Health Information Management. This office processes and retains patient health information, including medical records and other patient health information and data on CSTC patients. Unless allowed or required by law, CSTC requires a signed Authorization to Release Information to release protected patient health information. If the patient is under the age of 13, a legal guardian must sign the release. If the patient is 13 or older, the patient must sign the release. Please contact the Medical Records Department with questions and/or requests for information at (253) 756-2547, fax (253) 295-0654 or email.
