HEALTH SERVICES The primary responsibility of Health Services is to keep students healthy and in class. The staff of Health Services believes that the main focus of their services is to teach students responsible health behaviors, to help provide treatment and symptom relief of their illnesses, and to teach health measures to prevent the spread of disease to others. Health Services provides diagnostic and primary health care for a wide variety of illnesses which include respiratory and ear infections, skin problems, gastrointestinal illness, musculoskeletal problems, anemia and nutritional concerns. In addition, Health Services provides education and prevention services and addresses men’s and women’s reproductive health concerns. Nurse Practitioners, a Certified Medical Office Assistant, and a consulting Physician staff the department. Most services are free of charge; however, some exceptions include, but are not limited to, flu clinic, pregnancy testing or the Well Women’s Clinic and medications. Certain illnesses, such as the common cold or a virus, are best treated with self care measures and do not typically require a medical evaluation by a Health Care Provider. Students seen for an evaluation may be given written documentation of their appointment date and time. If the Health Care Providers deems it medically necessary to instruct the student not to return to class for a specified period of time written verification will be provided. Both Federal and State Law in regards to confidentiality prohibit the release of any additional medical information without written request from the student. Counseling Services Counseling Services addresses the developmental and psychological needs of students through educational, therapeutic, and preventative services. Services are designed to assist students with social, emotional, educational, academic, and psychological issues so that they are able to remain in school and benefit from their educational opportunities to the fullest extent.
