All students are advised to have health insurance and to bring a card with them. Those who do not have insurance may purchase the Student Health Insurance Plan, carried by a local broker. We advise inquiring in advance what your insurance company covers. In most cases arrangements are made through Health Services for students who require hospitalization. Transportation to the hospital is provided by a commercial ambulance.
Commercial ambulances charge a fee that is billed to the students' personal health insurance.
When there is a serious or life threatening illness, it is the college policy to notify parents or the next of kin. In other cases the student is encouraged to call their parents. Students and parents are advised to notify their insurance carrier prior to transportation when possible. The links below lead you to the further information about the topics you click on.
