Health Services

The University provides a Health and Wellness Center, staffed by a licensed nurse.  Hours of availability are posted on the University Website. Appointments are not necessary.  The nurse provides routine health care for minor injuries and illnesses, and dispenses certain over the counter medications such as acetaminophen and cough drops.  The University also maintains a contract with several local physicians, but students must be screened first by the university nurse, who will refer the student as necessary.  Carolina Pines Emergency room is located at 1304 Bobo Newsom Highway and is open 24 hours a day.  In the event that a student needs emergency treatment, he/she should make every effort to contact a member of the Residence Life staff.
