If additional or specialized medical care is needed, especially after regular physician hours, students will be referred to the Cleveland Clinic Wooster. All such medical care received outside the Longbrake Student Wellness Center is the financial responsibility of the student.
In an emergency, the student will be referred to the Wooster Community Hospital Emergency Department. This will be the student's financial responsibility.
Student Medical Records
Individual Health Records are maintained for all students. Student records are kept for seven years after the student leaves The College of Wooster, and then are destroyed.
All medical records are kept strictly confidential, and are not released to anyone without the student's permission. Requesting a copy of any part of your medical records requires written permission and a processing fee.
The Wellness Center staff does not write medical excuse notes to professors. With the student's permission, however, we will confirm an illness to a professor.
Confidentiality
The Longbrake Student Wellness Center maintains strict confidentiality, in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.
Students may grant permission for their illness/injury to be discussed with parents, professors, etc., on an illness by illness basis. However, students who are below the age of 18 do not need to grant permission to allow parents to speak with the staff.
Notification
The Longbrake Student Wellness Center does not routinely notify parents or professors of illness. This is the student's responsibility.
If a professor requires verification of illness/injury, he or she may call 330-263-2319 and information will be shared with the student's permission. The Wellness Center does not issue written excuses.
When students are hospitalized with serious conditions, parents/guardians will be notified by the admitting physician. Dean's staff will also be notified and professors will be made aware of the hospitalization.
