A limited number of walk-in appointments are available, as the schedule permits. Although the Vinson Health Center provides a wide range of care, there are some services outside the scope of the care offered. In these situations, the Health Center can provide a referral to an appropriate practioner and other health care provider within the community. After hours, if a student has an urgent health care need, that is not an emergency, they may contact their primary care provider or utilize the MSU referral system. Students should contact the campus police or a resident hall advisor to obtain a referral to be seen at Kell West Regional Hospital Emergency Room.
Students are responsible for charges incurred.
Students will not be required to pay at the time of the visit, but will receive a bill from the Vinson Health Center for the charges. In the event of an emergency, dial 9-911 from any campus phone to access emergency services. Any campus emergency should be sent directly to the hospital of the student's choice by ambulance. After notifying the ambulance, contact the University Police, ext.4239 and the Vinson Health Center, ext. Any hospital charges incurred will be the responsibility of the student.
