What if my child becomes ill when the Student Health Center is closed?  What services are available?

• The Student Health Center provides a 24-hour, 7 day-a-week, toll-free telephone service which will put the student in touch with a Registered Nurse who will assess any health/medical problems and provide self-care information or offer appropriate referrals.  Reports of all student calls are faxed to the Student Health Center and reviewed by the first shift nurse with follow-up as needed (provided the student leaves his or her name and telephone number).  The number for this services is:  1-866-205-2164. 
   

• The local emergency department is located in the New River Valley Medical Center, another Carilion Health System facility, and is less than 5 miles from campus.  There is an on-campus and a community EMS; both with excellent response time.
