When students return their completed health forms, they are kept on file for reference. Students may visit the Health Clinic for routine medical care, for first aid or for consultation.

The Campus Nurse is also available to discuss confidentially sexual health, sexually transmitted diseases, alcohol problems, or any other health concern a student may have. Books and brochures on health topics are available to students at the clinic. Referrals to local physicians, dentists, therapists and the Lenawee Health Department can be made through the nurse. Arrangements for meals for sick residents may be made through their R.A. or the nurse. If assistance is needed when the nurse is not available, R.A.’s or Security have access to first aid supplies and are certified in standard First Aid and CPR.
