HEALTH SERVICES


Although the College does not maintain health service facilities, students may use local emergency room and medical facilities. Serious illnesses or injuries occurring to nonresident students while on the Thatcher or Greenlee County Campuses are reported to the Dean of Students. Students residing in a residence hall are required to report any illnesses or injuries to the Residence Life Staff. Parents will be notified at once of any serious illness or injury.

College staff assigned to residence halls are concerned about student wellbeing and can help direct students to the appropriate medical services. However, they cannot take responsibility for providing sickbed services to students residing in the halls. The students and parents must arrange for such care.
