OVERVIEW
Student Health Service provides primary care treatment and education on personal health issues for both resident and non-resident, full-time and part-time students who have provided the department with a complete Medical History Form. Student Health Service is supervised by an administrative director who works in conjunction with the medical director. Physician services are offered Monday - Friday with designated clinic hours. The department has a licensed lab which performs several in-house tests and has an agreement with MetroLab to perform lab work for students, which is billed to the student's permanent address.
No fees are charged for treatment in Student Health Service. However, patients are responsible for prescriptions or lab work ordered by the physician. Patients are also responsible for any hospital services, physician or lab fees charged for services off campus whether or not the patient was referred by Student Health Service.
Student Health Service utilizes Memorial Medical Center (corner of S Claiborne Ave. and Napolean Ave.) as the referral hospital. Students will be referred to Memorial for treatment and/or hospitalization unless the student has another preference.
Loyola students are encouraged to contact Student Health Service if hopitalized. Once notified, the department will inform the student's college dean's office and faculty of the hospitalization.
For good cause, the University may require a physical or psychiatric examination while a student is in attendance. Results of these examinations may be used to determine a student's suitability to continue in attendance at the University.
