Luther College assumes responsibility only for health care of students which can be provided on campus. Charges incurred for medical services provided off-campus are the responsibility of the student. A registered nurse does the initial assessment for an illness or injury. No appointment is necessary. Priority is given to emergency care or an acute illness.
Information is provided on safe and effective use of available methods of contraception.
Family Planning services are available in Decorah. Health Service has a seven-bed inpatient unit available to students for rest and recuperation from illness or injury. Very few laboratory tests are done on campus. Charges for laboratory work done off campus will be billed to the student. Orthopedic appliances and dressings prescribed by a college physician, and not covered by private health insurance, are dispensed at no charge.
