Students are encouraged to see the nurse before making arrangements to see a physician. The nurse shall initiate referral to a physician at the student’s request. The Health Center maintains a confidential daily log indicating the name, date, time, and primary complaint on all visits, in addition to a personal confidential record documenting any evaluation, treatment, or referral provided to the student.

To contact the registered nurse at Huntington University, call (260) 359-4092.

All students are required to have the following on file in the Health Center:

1.   A completed medical physical examination form signed by a licensed physician. (Download form in Acrobat PDF format.)  A yellow hard copy of this form will be mailed to each first time freshman over summer and must be completed and returned by the due date of August 10.  If you have a scheduled physical appointment  but have not received the yellow hard copy, you can print the 3^rd page physical form to take to your physician for your physical.  If you copy the 3^rd page, be sure to attach it to the yellow hard copy before mailing.

2.  Proof of immunization including measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, TB testing and polio as per current requirements of the American Health Association.

3.  Proof of Health Insurance valid for the academic year, or proof of participation in the College’s Health Insurance program.

Emergency Situations - In the event of medical emergencies, or if students evaluated by the Health Center nurse experience a worsening of their condition, the R.D. (or R.A. in the R.D.’s absence) should be notified for referral to the University physician or the Parkview Huntington Hospital Emergency Room. Whenever any doubt exists the R.D. should contact the University physician or Emergency Room. The R.D. shall inform the nurse of any referrals or incidents.
