Health Service
740-284-7223
The Health Service staff provides assessment and treatment of common illnesses, first-aid, suture removal, administration of some injectable medications (including allergy serums), dressing applications, weight and nutrition counseling, health teaching, and referrals to various community and on-campus services. The Health Service is not a full-service emergency room or clinic; however, it is staffed by registered nurses and a nurse practitioner Monday through Friday on regular class days. The required Student Health Form is kept on file at the Wellness Center.
All students living in a residence hall must notify Student Life of their vaccination for meningococcal and hepatitis B disease per Ohio law. Students cannot be admitted to the residence hall without indicating this on the Confidential Student Health Record.
When ordered by a physician, diagnostic lab and x-ray testing is done at Trinity Medical Center or Weirton Medical Center. Emergency health and medical problems are also referred to these hospitals. Dental referrals may also be scheduled as needed.
There is a $10 fee for all appointments, payable at the time of the appointment by cash, check, or credit/debit card. Tests for mononucleosis and strep are available for a nominal cost also. Specialized vaccines can be ordered, but the prices vary. Call the Wellness Center for pricing information. Prescription medications, which can be delivered to the Wellness Center from local pharmacies, must be purchased by the student.
