The Parton Health Center is staffed by registered nurses and is open 24-hours a day while school is in session. Same day or next day appointments are usually available at the Health Center.
Urgent care is always available.
Extended physician coverage is provided 24-hours a day at Porter Hospital Emergency Department, less than one mile from campus. Students may be seen at no charge by a physician at the hospital for reasons they would be seen at the health center if our doctor were available. Emergency care, treatment above the level of care we provide, and lab tests are charged to the student at the regular hospital rate. Students are encouraged to make an appointment at the Health Center with questions and concerns about their physical and emotional well-being. Prevention of illness and promotion of healthy lifestyles is a priority for us.
