Medical Services
Program faculty, the Program Director, and the Medical Director are not permitted to participate as health care providers for enrolled students. Students must access non-emergent medical care as needed based on their private health insurance plan.
All currently enrolled LMU students are eligible to use the medical services offered through LMU Student Health Center (SHC). The SHC is located on the 3rd floor of the Student Center, Suite 315. Students are seen on a walk-in basis; no appointments are scheduled. Staff includes a licensed practical nurse (LPN), family nurse practitioner (FNP) and doctors of osteopathic medicine. There is no fee for students to visit with any acute concerns. Limited testing is offered in the clinic and labs can be sent out as deemed necessary. Students will not be charged for office visits. If lab work is deemed necessary, students are responsible for paying all associated lab fees. Insurance information will be obtained at the visit and submitted to the laboratory, but the student will be responsible for paying any charges not covered by insurance. The SHC staff will not collect payments or submit billing to any 3rd party providers or insurers. Hours of clinic operations are Monday - Friday 8am-4pm with the exception of the lunch hour between 12 and 1. Call 423-869-6249 for any questions.
*The SHC adheres to the LMU inclement weather policy. If administrative offices are closed, the SHC will also be closed.
