Welcome from the Director

print this letter

Dear Students,

As the Director of the Health and Wellness Center, I’d like to welcome you to Schreiner University! The Health and Wellness Center is located on the lower level of the Cailloux Activity Center. The Center is staffed with an RN 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and provides basic first aid and assessment of minor illnesses and injuries with medical referral as necessary. Educational and wellness programs are provided throughout the year, and numerous resources are available to the student in the Wellness Center Conference Room.

The following forms and records are extremely important to you and enable the nurse to help you should you become sick or injured. They must be on file in the Health and Wellness Center prior to the student’s residence hall check-in.  *Please return these forms and records in the enclosed envelope or to the above address or faxed to 830.792.7304.

*HEALTH FORM: All residential and international students are required to have a Health Form on file in the Health Center. Complete this form in its entirety including emergency contact information, immunization information, health information and signatures. In your admission packet is information on Bacterial Meningitis. It is required that you sign the area on the health form indicating that you received this information. Return this form as described above.

*IMMUNIZATION RECORD: All residential and international students are required to have an immunization record on file in the Health Center. All international students are required to have a TB test completed within the last year with documentation of results. We request your adherence to our recommendations, supported by the Texas Department of Health, that students present immunization proof for MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Polio (not recommended for persons over 18) and T/D (Tetanus/Diphtheria) or T-dap (Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis). Other recommended vaccines include Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and the Meningococcal vaccine. Complete the Health Form section on Immunizations or attach a copy (not original) or your immunizations and return as described above. (Exceptions or waivers due to religious or other circumstances may be made through the Health and Wellness Center.)

HEALTH INSURANCE: (Required of all residential and international students and recommended for all students.) All residential and international students are automatically billed for student accident and sickness insurance on their student account unless there is proof of comparable existing insurance coverage.  If you have proof of comparable existing coverage and wish to waive out of this insurance plan, you may waive coverage at http://students.schreiner.edu/health/health_ins.htm  during the open enrollment period listed below:

New student open enrollment: July 1, 2008 through August 29, 2008
Returning student open enrollment: June 15, 2008 through August 29, 2008
(if enrolling for Spring Semester, December 1, 2008 through January 16, 2009)

Health Insurance is mandatory for residential and international students as it insures students can access health care off campus, consult a specialist and have coverage for emergency and hospitalization. Costly medical bills can impose tremendous hardships and even necessitate withdrawal from school. All students are encouraged to carry a copy of their insurance card to avoid delay in healthcare in an emergency and to provide updated information via the online web waiver at any time when it changes.

Information regarding this insurance plan will be provided via direct mailings, during Mountaineer Days and Monty Days or by visiting the Schreiner University website at: http://students.schreiner.edu/health.

Thank you for returning your forms in the enclosed envelope promptly and I look forward to getting to know each of you.

If you have any questions about the on-line waiver process or benefits, you may call 830.792.7279.

Respectfully,



Gloria Algeo, R.N.
Health and Wellness Director
