Staff:
All members of the professional staff of Health Services are Registered Professional
Nurses. Our job title is Nurse/Counselor. We have experience in both physical and
mental health treatment and referral.
Mission:
The goal of Health Services is to promote Wellness on campus. Wellness is more
than simply the absence of illness. It is a way of life that emphasizes healthy habits
and choices that lead to reducing your risk of disease and injury; it promotes
responsible self-care, but is not a substitute for medical care. Wellness encompasses
the choices we make regarding nutrition, physical activity, how we handle stress,
fulfill our spiritual needs, develop our intellects and pursue our career goals. As
such, we define our mission in health services in terms of helping each member of
the campus community to achieve a state of positive physical and mental health.
Services:
To achieve our goals we offer a variety of services to students and staff:
- First Aid - Anyone who is injured on campus must report the injury to the
Nurse. We will provide emergency first aid at the site of the injury if necessary.
Please call ext. 4870 to request first aid assistance if unable to report to the Health
Office. All serious injuries are referred for medical evaluation and treatment.
- Accident Insurance - Full time students are covered by this policy 24 hours a
day. Part time students are covered for accidents that occur while in school,
traveling to and from school or while participating in a school sponsored and
supervised activity. Information and forms are available in the Health Office and
an accident report must be filed with the College Nurse within 72 hours of the
accident.
