STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

The Office of Student Health Services is located in the Student Affairs Multi-Complex Building.  The college nurse is available five days a week, Monday through Friday, to discuss any questions or help students in regard to physical disorders or health-related matters and to provide emergency first-aid treatment.  However, it is recommended that students subscribe to the Student Health Insurance program or have a private policy that provides medical and surgical benefits.  The Student Health Insurance program may be purchased during registration or at any time during the semester.  Students may contact the college nurse for more information.  In cases of emergency, the college nurse makes use of the local doctors or Northwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in Clarksdale.  Local ambulance service is available at the expense of the student. 

The college nurse is equipped to take students’ temperature, blood pressure, pulse and respiration.  If necessary, other services can be arranged through local agencies.  Health information and materials are also available in the center.
