Medications

The Office of Health Services offers many over-the-counter medications and other pharmaceuticals. Some of these are available free of charge for illnesses such as colds. Other medications are provided for a nominal fee. 

Required medications not stocked by Health Services must be obtained at an outside pharmacy by the patient. We can direct students to local pharmacies. The Office of Health Services cannot fill prescriptions from outside physicians. Medications will not be dispensed for chronic illnesses requiring long-term use.

Equipment

Certain appliances, such as crutches and some splints are available on loan at no charge. Other appliances are available at cost.

Students who become ill or injured on campus and desire to come to Health Services but are unable to walk or drive to the Student Union Building, may call Campus Safety at 717.815.1314 for transportation.

Campus Safety may provide transportation for medical care (referrals, x-rays, hospital tests, and consultations) to York Hospital if no other means of transportation is available to the student. This service is not guaranteed, especially during inclement weather.

At times, when Campus Safety is not available for transport, transportation can be provided for a fee by the local ambulance company or a local cab company.

Repeated appointments or care for chronic conditions requiring transportation off campus is the responsibility of the student. Bus service and taxi service are available from campus.

You have a right to confidential treatment of all information and records pertaining to your care, as well as full consideration of privacy concerning your treatment and rehabilitation plan. You also have the right to be advised as to the reason for the presence of any individual during the course of your medical care.

The student's written permission is necessary before information may be released to anyone not directly involved with the care and may be rescinded in writing at any time.

The Health Center also has access to electronic medical records from WellSpan and will access these records as needed to provide continuity and collaboration in regards to the student health care needs.

In support of higher education, we provide learning experiences for nursing students, nurse practitioner students, medical students, and physicians completing their residency training. Confidentiality is considered of utmost importance.

Students' Rights and Responsibilities
