Student Health Services LOULIE TAYLOR LETCHER MEMORIAL INFIRMARY
The
Infirmary provides routine medical health care for the treatment of minor
injuries and illnesses. Health Education and medical care are delivered through
the campus nurse and part-time physicians. Specialists are sometimes needed for
students’ illnesses and injuries, which require care beyond the services
available through the Infirmary. In such cases, the Infirmary staff will refer
students to recommended specialists. Students in need of hospitalization will
be referred to local hospitals. The cost of all health care services provided
outside the campus infirmary is the responsibility of the student and his or her
parents. Ambulance services are available for use in case of serious illness or
injury. Costs for ambulance services, hospitalization, prescriptions, etc., are
the responsibility of the student and his or her parents.
Student accident and sickness insurance is provided as a part of the student
health care program. All students are enrolled in the insurance program at a
nominal cost paid at the time of registration. The
insurance is provided as a supplement to the coverage available through the
student’s family insurance plan and is not intended to be comprehensive or to
replace the family’s responsibility for the student’s health care. The cost of
health services provided outside the Infirmary and/or not covered by the
student’s accident and sickness insurance plan is solely the responsibility of
the student and his or her parents. Due to the escalating costs of medical
care, parents and/or students without the proper medical insurance are
encouraged to subscribe to a personal medical insurance plan that would provide
additional medical services.
