14. Health Services

Health Services at Franklin College is available, free of charge, to all students. A complete and accurate health form is required to be on file in the clinic. The health clinic nurse provides first aid and treatment of minor illness and injuries to students enrolled at Franklin College. In the event that a student is too ill or not stable enough to come to the clinic, 911 should be called.

Emergency services personnel will assess the student and transport to the local hospital if necessary. It is very difficult for the nurse to respond to the scene of an illness leaving the clinic unattended. In the event of needing assistance with non-emergency situations, students should call the Health Center at (317) 738-8090 during normal business hours.

The clinic is located on the second floor of the Napolitan Student Center. Although appointments are not required, they are preferred, especially when the student has a fever or symptoms that could be related to a highly contagious condition. To schedule an appointment, students can call the Clinic Coordinator at (317) 738-8090 during normal business hours: Monday-Thursday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Friday: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
