Health and Counseling Services
Medical and counseling services are provided for resident students, by a team of professionals at Spring Arbor University. The team works together to provide each individual student the best care possible.

Health
The Holton Health Center is located in the Lower Level of the Student Center. The health center is staffed by a nurse practitioner and two nurses. Evaluation and treatment of injuries, illnesses and medications are available through the Heath Center. Health Center hours are 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. After hours care is available. If you need assistance, contact your RA or RD who will then page the nurse practitioner.

University Doctor: A doctor's clinic is held by appointment each Tuesday or as arranged through the Health Center.

When the Health Center is closed, the need for medical treatment should be brought to the attention of the R.A. or R.D. They can contact the appropriate persons or arrange for care.

Emergency Care: Emergency services are covered by the Spring Arbor Township Rescue Squad and the Jackson Ambulance Services. There are several hospitals and clinics in the area.

Medical Records and Immunizations: Detailed medical records for each student are kept in the Health Center. This information is confidential and cannot be released without the student's consent. Records of immunizations must be kept on file for all students. The University requires diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and rubella inoculations. Also, a TB skin test must be done within 12 months prior to moving into the dorms. All health requirements must be met or there will be a hold on registration for the subsequent term.

Reporting Accidents: All accidents should be reported to the Holton Health Center to assure appropriate care.

If you are missing classes, Chapel and meals due to illness, please contact your R.A. or R.D.

Counseling Services
University experiences carry with them certain predictable pressures, as well as coming at a time in your life when you may feel quite unsure about yourself, your ability to relate to others, and your career plans. There are likely to be times when you feel that things just aren't coming together for you.
Spring Arbor University has a variety of different options available for counseling. These include the University Chaplain, the University nurse, the residence life staff and other faculty members. In cases where more specialized counseling is needed, referrals can be made to the local Free Methodist Church counseling staff and other private Christian counselors in the local area. Discussions between students and counselors are confidential and no information will be released to anyone within the University or outside of it without the student's permission, and as outlined in the American Psychological Association ethical guidelines.

Substance Abuse Assistance: Any member of the University community seeking assistance for substance abuse is encouraged to contact the Counseling Center or the Bridgeway Center, Inc., 301 Francis Street, Suite 100A, Jackson, Michigan, 49201, phone 783-2732. All fees for services rendered will be the responsibility of the recipient.
