College Health Services
Vernon College Health Care
The Health Care Clinic (located in the Sumner Applied Arts Center) is available to all students attending the Vernon campus. Vernon campus students support the clinic through a service fee paid at registration. Prevention is the primary goal of the Vernon College Health Care Clinic. The scope of the Health Care Clinic includes treatment of students’ injuries and illnesses as well as to provide students with the tools they need to maintain a state of optimum health. The clinic serves as a resource in areas of health promotion, health maintenance, and health education. The clinic is staffed by a licensed vocational nurse. A family practice Nurse Practitioner is also at the clinic on a scheduled basis. The nurse is available 10 hours per week at the Vernon Campus in the clinic located in the Sumner Applied Arts and Sciences building. Hours of availability are posted on the clinic door each semester.
At all locations, students may be transported via emergency vehicles to the hospital at their own expense when, in the opinion of College officials, medical attention is necessary.
Student Insurance
Health insurance policies for students are available. These policies are issued by private agencies. Insurance company information may be obtained during registration periods or in the Student Success office at the appropriate instructional location.
