Some health services, such as pharmacy or laboratory services, have minimal fees. After Hours Resident students are to contact their R.A. or R.D. who will help them obtain medical care. In an emergency, students should contact Public Safety and an officer or dispatcher will contact emergency services for students. For all students who need non-emergency care, Riverview Medical Clinic is an urgent care clinic that offers a discount for Winthrop students. No appointment is necessary.
All charges incurred are the responsibility of the student.
Students may also have prescriptions from other physicians filled at the pharmacy. If a student is unable to come to Health Services during these times, a friend may pick up the prescription for the student. Some routine diagnostic laboratory tests can be performed at Health Services. Other required tests are done by an outside lab with results usually available within 24 to 48 hours. Laboratory testing requires a small fee.
