The Student Health Service is maintained to safeguard the health of students. The University provides these services through the Queen Washington Health Center. Services are available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Services include first aid, emergency services, counseling on health problems, referrals, and the communication of pertinent information to consulting physicians, hospitals, clinics and other agencies.
Clinics are held daily, Monday through Friday, by a physician who examines, administers or prescribes treatment and medication. No charges are made for first aid and drugs used in simple treatment. Students suffering from complex medical/surgical problems are hospitalized at local hospitals of their choice (at their own expense). The University accepts no responsibility for any student requiring hospitalization. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the student health insurance program. Insurance enrollment information is located in the Student Health Center and Student Affairs Office in the Floyd/Payne Campus Center Room 308.
