STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES

Student Health Service is located in Stickney Hall, room 114. Health education and promotion of healthy college lifestyles serve as the foundation of the Student Health Service program. A registered nurse is on duty from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon weekdays to provide general health services. Services include: health assessment, screening and monitoring, immunizations and first aid. Nurse practitioners are on duty eight hours per week; a schedule for the nurse practitioners is posted on the door of the Health Service. Nurse Practitioners provide services including: physicals, women’s health, wound care, prescribing medications, ordering lab or X-ray, and much more.

A local physician serves as physician advisor/collaborator for the Student Health Services. Referrals are also made to the local clinics and emergency room physicians as needed. In addition, the University has a policy designed to prevent the spread of significant diseases. This policy can be found in the Student Guide.

All students who are registered at Dickinson State University may use the service. There is no charge for visits to the health service. There is a nominal charge for certain vaccinations. The health service is supported through student fees.

The Student Health Services will not provide a student with a written excuse from classes. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange an excuse with the instructor.

WELLNESS PROGRAM
As a service of the Division of Student Development, DSU offers a campus wide Wellness Program. This Wellness Program combines the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, occupational and spiritual dimensions into a program of active learning with the goal of achieving life long well being.
 
In addition to offering a regular schedule of exercise classes, special events, classroom presentations, group discussions and individualized consultations, the Wellness Program coordinates the following programs:

Alcohol Awareness through the Arts: This is an annual program that uses creative writing, dance, music, theatre and visual art to stimulate discussion and critical thinking on our campus about potential negative consequences of binge drinking.

The Peer Educators Program: This is a group of students trained to educate, confront, listen to, and help their peers make healthy lifestyle choices. Students choosing to participate in the Peer Educators Program are trained through Bacchus/Gamma Peer Education Network and receive a national certification.
