Health Services are available to all students. During the week, a nurse will be on duty during business hours (7:45am – 4:30 pm), and every morning, between 7:45am and 8:45am, a physician is available for consult and for lab testing. During the evenings or on weekends, Campus Security (as well as friends, or Residence Hall staff) can provide transportation to a local walk-in clinic or hospital emergency room.
For lab tests at the Health Center, an off campus lab charging customary fees will bill either the student's health insurance, the student's parent, or the student directly. A minimal fee for lab supplies will be charged to the student's Lawrence account.
Medication, if required, is prescribed by the physician. If it is not stocked at the Health Center, the medication will be ordered from a local pharmacy. If health insurance is used, the co-pay will be charged to the student's Lawrence account. If the student is not covered by health insurance, the full amount will be charged to the student's account.
Counseling services are also available to all students. The counselors are trained to help you with any health, personal, behavioral, or academic issues that arise during your time at Lawrence – if you’re having a hard time with your transition, or a relationship, or you just bombed a test, or just need someone to talk to, counseling services will be able to help you. You are encouraged to make an appointment, but, in the case of an emergency, walk-in services are provided. Counselors are available in person during business hours, but also have after-hours availability.
