Health Services
Be well—healthy mind, body and spirit!
A registered nurse is available on campus daily Monday through Friday to assist you in treating illnesses and injuries.
Only over-the-counter non-prescription medications are dispensed from Health Services, located in the lower level of Virginia Hall. There is no charge for a visit. The nurse will assist in obtaining a doctor's appointment or hospitalization, if needed.
Any student self-administering injections (allergy, insulin, etc.) must come by the Health Services Office and pick up OSHA approved SHARPS boxes for safe syringe disposal.
