Medications Commonly ordered medications are packaged by a local pharmacy and dispensed to students by the physicians. Denison University does not have a pharmacy, therefore no prescription insurance plans can be used at the Health Center. Physicians will write prescriptions for students who notify them that they have prescription coverage. These prescriptions can be filled at any participating pharmacy in the area. A medical technologist is on duty during regular doctors hours, Monday through Friday.
Some testing is done on site, much is sent out to a reference laboratory.
Results are received at the Health Center by teleprinter, often within 24 hours. If laboratory testing is requested by a physician outside the Health Center, the test can be performed here with a written order from the physician. Reports will be mailed or faxed to the requesting physician if desired. There are no x-ray facilities at the Health Center. A local outpatient department or the hospital offers these services.
