Under the supervision of a Registered Nurse, a referral to local physicians may be obtained. A physician is on duty 24 hours a day at the Jefferson Memorial Emergency Room for after-hour emergencies. Students are responsible for all expenses incurred at the doctor's office or hospital.
Specialists are available in Morristown and Knoxville.
When a student has a serious illness or injury, the parents will be notified directly by the nurse on duty, by the attending physician, or by a Student Affairs staff member. Residential students needing after-hour care should contact the RD or RA on duty. The center is on the corner of Russell Avenue and College Street, next to Burnett Dorm. The Counseling Center is also housed in the Kathleen Manley Center for Wellness. You may call 3350 to make an appointment.
