Referrals must be made through the MBC Health Service. Emergency care is provided by Augusta Hospital Corporation, which has a physician available 24 hours a day. A base-line health record is required to be on file in the Health Center for all traditional students, both to protect the health of the MBC community and to assist in providing for student medical needs. The VA Department of Health requests that each student have on file a record of immunizations for certain communicable diseases. The staff is committed to health education not only as a means of maintaining good health and preventing illness but also as a means of creating an overall awareness among students of what constitutes life that is healthy.
Good health is an lifelong goal.
Through providing health information and encouraging inquisitiveness regarding health issues, the center helps students gain confidence about their health decisions. This enables students to maintain good health while at MBC as well as throughout their lives.
