Health Center Learning Center STUDENT HEALTH CENTER Russell N. Hirst, M.D., Director Samuel V. Boor, M.D., Physician Margaret Nicholson, R.N., Nurse The Health Service of Weber State College has been established for the education and protection of students. In the event a student is injured or becomes suddenly ill while on campus, the Office of Campus Police should be called, phone 393-0973. The student will then be transported to his doctor, the Student Health Center, or to the Hospital, for care. After office hours, the student should call his private physician, or Campus Police for transportation to the hospital. The Student Health Center is located in Annex IV, just north of the Office of Campus Police. The center is open from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. The health staff consists of a part-time physician, a part-time psychiatrist, who is also a consultant to the counseling staff, and a resistered nurse. Treatment and consultation may be arranged for by appointment. Medical care at the Student Health Center is paid from student health service fee. Any further medical care beyond that provided at the Health Center must be paid for by the student or his insurance plan. A health and accident policy for students is available only at time of registration at a special rate. This insurance plan is especially designed for students at Weber State College for protection against medical expenses for injury and illness. Unless protected by some other form of insurance, it is strongly urged that all students take advantage of the low cost insurance plan. Students are encouraged to consult the Health Service on any problem they may have concerning their health. PROSPECTIVE STUDENT SERVICES L.
