STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

The purpose of Student Health Services is to provide for the maintenance of good health for currently enrolled students. Students eligible for treatment must complete a medical history questionnaire including an appropriate record of immunizations prior to registration. A valid Bobcat card must be presented to receive service at the clinic. There may be additional costs involved if lab work is done that is sent out to a facility.

Outpatient medical care for the treatment of minor illnesses and injuries is provided for students by certified nurse practitioners at the Health Service Clinic in Beeson Hall. Students may be referred to consultants if needed or if desired by the patient. Students are referred to Oconee Regional Medical Center in the event of an emergency.

The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Other staff members include a board certified physician consultant, part-time pharmacist, administrative assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse, and a health educator.

Student Health Services promotes the Wellness Concept as an educational process and life-style for students. Health education information, designed to have a positive influence on students’ health, behavior, and manner, is provided through the office.
