Health Center
The Health Center provides comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and referrals. The Health Center is staffed by nurse practitioners and registered nurses. Resources, provisions, and educational materials are readily available to help students maintain a healthy lifestyle while in college. Our staff will work with a student’s primary care physician or specialists for routine matters as well as emergency or illness situations in order to responsibly collaborate and provide effective continuity of care. Our Nurse Practitioners are able to prescribe medications and order lab work. Gynecological care and birth control is also available. Students are welcome to walk in with questions or concerns; the staff are warm and helpful.
HEALTH FORMS
The following documentation is required of any student registered for 6 or more credits at the time of admission to the college: proof of two MMR’s (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and a meningitis vaccination within 5 years, or a signed waiver. Health forms can be found on our website (https://www.mville.edu/life/student-services/health-center/forms) and can be dropped off to the office, emailed to shac@mville.edu, faxed to (914) 323-5257, or uploaded to our Blackboard site. Students are not permitted on campus or to register for classes until these completed documents have been received.
The College automatically enrolls each student in the Aetna Student Health (SHIP), plan each year. A charge for this plan appears on the student’s tuition bill. If the student has access to health insurance through other means (i.e. parent’s policy) and does not wish to be enrolled in the SHIP plan, the student must go online to decline the coverage and provide proof of coverage. Waivers should be completed by September 15 at the following link: https://www.mville.edu/aetna-student-health
