Non-emergency health and medical problems are handled by the University’s Wellness Center. The Wellness Center, located on the ground floor in Finnegan Fieldhouse, 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.
The Wellness Center staff provides assessment and treatment of common illnesses, first-aid, sutures removal, administration of some injectable medications (including allergy serums), dressing applications, weight and diet counseling, personal counseling, and referrals to various community and on-campus services. The Wellness Center is not a full-service emergency room or clinic.
When ordered by a physician, diagnostic tests and X-rays is done at Trinity Medical Center. Emergency health and medical problems are also referred to Trinity Medical Center. Dental referrals may also be scheduled as needed.
There is a $10 fee for all appointments, payable by cash, check or credit/debit card at that time. Tests for mono and strep are available for a nominal cost also. Other specialized vaccines can be ordered, but the prices vary. Prescription medications, which can be delivered to the Wellness Center from local pharmacies, must be purchased by the student.
Campus Counseling Services
Counseling is a specialized field in the helping professions that seeks to understand and improve human behavior. Our staff includes trained counselors and social workers, licensed in Ohio, who use their special skills to help others lead more effective and satisfying lives.
Our staff strives to blend the best in mental health care with Christian principles as we work with individuals and groups of students. By listening to and assessing student problems, counseling goals are established for each student.
In addition to traditional forms of counseling, support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and survival of childhood abuse or neglect are offered on campus. Our staff maintains relationships with local providers of psychiatric services, enabling us to refer students to these services as needed.
Counseling fees are $10 for an individual session payable at the time of the appointment by cash, check, or credit/debit card.
