Health
McKinley Health Center provides services to help keep you healthy and, if you are ill, to help you get better. The health service fee covers most McKinley services, so you can make an appointment without worrying about payment. If you have a medical problem beyond the Health Center’s scope, staff members at McKinley can refer you to treatment off campus. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations accredits McKinley and its staff includes doctors, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, nurses, technologists, pharmacists, health educators, and counselors.
In addition to the medical clinic, McKinley offers an immunization and travel clinic and services in women’s health, wellness promotion, and mental health. The SportWell Center offers nutrition and fitness consultation and education.
The Dial-A-Nurse is available 24-hours a day to answer your questions. A pharmacy is on-site to fill prescriptions. McKinley's Web site provides information about many health issues, as well as its hours and services. You can also use the web to request refills on prescriptions. Appointments are recommended, if possible, and can be made over the phone or online.
Illinois law requires that all entering students document a minimum level of immunization. The Immunization Information Form, enclosed in your Admitted Student Guide, MUST be returned by July 1, 2008. (International students: deliver the form to McKinley Health Center in person upon arrival to campus.) Or you can also download the forms.
Medical services you receive off campus are not covered by the health service fee but may be covered by your student health insurance. For information about off-campus coverage, check with the Student Insurance Office.
