Physicians on the medical staff have had experience in private practice before working in student medicine. Specialists in surgery, orthopedics, otoaryngology, ophthalmology, radiology, and other fields also are available on a consulting basis. However, there are charges for tests that must be sent to an outside laboratory, interpretation of X-rays, allergy injections, and orthopedic clinic visits and supplies. The Student Health Service is available only to registered Ohio University students.
Hours are slightly different in the summer and during winter and spring breaks.
Closed on university holidays. For emergencies and after-hours treatment, O'Bleness Memorial Hospital is located less than a mile from campus. Emergency medical transportation is provided to the area by Southeast Ohio Emergency Medical Services. These providers charge for services. Because most students at OU are adults, it is unlawful for a student health professional to release any information about a student without the student's consent.
