Welcome to Students
I would like to welcome all students to MacMurray College. The Health Services Office is located in the Gamble Campus Center, within the Office of Student Life. I am here Monday through Friday during the academic year. I provide health education and one-to-one assessment on a walk-in basis. Over-the-counter medications can be administered for minor illnesses such as colds, sore throats, fever blisters, minor cuts, allergies, and mild gastrointestinal disturbances. As a student you may also be referred when necessary to a physician, hospital, and/or counseling services when appropriate. Please know that confidentiality in regards to your visits is always maintained.
Due to the fact that a high priority at MacMurray is to promote a healthy campus, I also participate with students throughout the year in health promotion activities. I encourage you to join in these activities to learn more about good health practices. If you are interested in helping to create and set up health activities, please do not hesitate to see me to share your ideas or become involved in one of our many activities.
Entering college is a traditional landmark that goes beyond leaving home. It is a time for you to decide upon your process of self-care and good health practices. As you are making these decisions, please remember that the Health Services Office offers many services and that I am here to help you in whatever way I can. During your years at MacMurray, it is truly our intent for you to be well on your way to a state of optimal health - physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually, and spiritually.
