Prescriptions
Prescriptions issued by SHS can be filled at any local pharmacy at the
student's expense. Students may contact their insurance companies to see
if and where prescriptive privileges exist. Students & parents are
encouraged to speak with their insurance companies prior to illness so
they know where to go should the need arise.

Students are urged to carry health insurance coverage although
insurance coverage is not mandatory. SHS does not endorse or sponsor a
specific program but does maintain literature on a variety of insurance
programs. Students interested in coverage may contact SHS.

All information received by SHS regarding a client's health is strictly
confidential. Access to medical records is limited to authorized SHS
personnel. Faculty and administration do not have access to medical
records and will not be able to verify a student's visits to SHS without
the student's permission. If the student is 18 years of age or older,
the University cannot release information to his/her parents without the
student's prior knowledge. Medical information is released only with the
