If you are ill and suspect H1N1 or are concerned, DO NOT GO to Health Services. Instead, call Health Services (x5306) right away to receive instructions. After hours, contact Safety & Security (x5999).

Each of us must take personal responsibility for our health and do all we can to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus on campus. We must:

• Wash our hands frequently. In addition, alcohol-based hand sanitizers have been placed throughout campus.
• Cover our coughs and sneezes.
• Avoid close contact with those who are sick.

Tara Vogel, RN, BSN

Director of Health Services

It is the goal of Health Services to provide the Manchester College community with timely and cost-effective health services in a caring and confidential manner. This will enable students to focus on their education with minimal interruptions from illness or injury.

The Health Center, located on the first floor of Calvin Ulrey Hall, is staffed by a registered nurse and student health assistants. Care is given for minor illnesses and injuries without charge to all registered students and faculty/staff at Manchester College. More serious problems are referred to a local physician, family physician or specialist. The cost of health care beyond that provided by the Health Center is the responsibility of the student or the student's family. 

Health education is an important part of the services available to the students. Individualized information pertaining to the specific condition or illness is given to each student who uses Health Services. Patient care is provided on a walk-in or appointment basis. Cause, care, prevention and after-care are all addressed.
  
Students may contact Health Services by calling x5306, e-mailing Tara Vogel, or stopping by the office. Care is provided 24-hours every day to residential students. Cause, care, prevention, and after-care are all addressed. The director and the health assistants are also available to provide programs to interested groups upon request.
