Health Services
The CHW’s health center functions as an outpatient facility serving the medical needs of the students. These services are provided by licensed health-care providers, including a medical doctor, a physician assistant, and a registered nurse. There is no charge for most services including office visits. However, students will be responsible for any charges associated with lab work, X-rays, pharmaceuticals, supplies, and injections. All fees will be discussed with the student before services are provided.
Marietta College requires a complete health record be on file in the CHW. A completed health/ immunization form must be completed by all incoming first year or transfer students.
It is important to note that for any student who feels that they are experiencing or witnessing a medical emergency, call the Marietta College Police Department at (740) 376-3333 or dial 911.
