Medical Treatment and Reminder from the Cadet Health Center (CHC) Director:

Any cadet experiencing symptoms of illness and/or injury should schedule an appointment with the CHC using Waitwhile (linked above). You will be notified by the nurse when it is time for your appointment. All cadets will have an option of selecting a Telehealth appointment with the RN or an in-person appointment with the LPN.

• The Telehealth RN will be available by appointment only from 0730-1645 Monday thru Friday, for emergencies only after-hours Monday-Friday from 1700- 0730, and on weekends.
• The LPN (in-person) at CHC will be available for appointments only from 0745-1445 Monday thru Friday. The CHC will be closed from 1130 until 1230 for lunch, parades, parade practices, and to transport cadets to medical appointments.
• Sick call will be from 0700-0800 by Telehealth RN. (If a cadet has missed early morning PT due to illness or injury, they must schedule the first available appointment between 0700 and 0800 that day. Failure to do this will result in the cadet not being medically excused from that activity).
• Cadets who become ill or injured during the day and cannot attend a class or any other mandatory event must make the first available appointment with the CHC (telehealth or in-person) in order to be excused from the class or event. The cadet is expected to notify their instructor, and, if available, attend the classes online until time for their appointment.
• If the illness or injury is emergent, the cadet should alert their TAC Officer of the need for emergency care, to be provided by the CHC, local clinic, or emergency room visit.
• The Telehealth Kiosk is located in the Guardhouse and is accessible 24 hours a day.
• Cadets also have the option of a Telehealth appointment using their cell phone or computer from their room.
• After-hours medical emergencies should call the Campus Safety and Security (OC) emergency cellular number: 334- 292-9690, and Cadet Health Center Nurse 205-441-3278, and, if needed, medical first responders will be contacted immediately.

After evaluation, appropriate transportation to and from a medical treatment facility may be necessary due to the situation and urgency.  Costs associated with transportation to appropriate facilities in the best interests of the health and safety of cadets are listed on the Transportation webpage.

Cadets are responsible for ALL medical expenses pertaining to any care provided by an off-campus MD, CRNP, hospital, urgent care, emergency room, or pharmacy.

Cadets who need assistance with medical issues such as DODMERB Waivers, weigh-ins, body fat measurements, immunizations, etc. should make their appointments during their free time in the afternoons utilizing the Telehealth RN (Rene’ Sumlin).

Flu Vaccines

Marion Military Institute partners with College City Drug to make Flu Vaccines available (at a fee) for cadets who wish to take a flu vaccine. The cadet will need to notify the RN no later than Oct 1^st if they would like the flu shot. If the cadet’s health insurance covers the flu vaccine, the insurance company will be billed first, and the cadet will be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles. College City Drug will bill for this service, but the CHC will administer the flu vaccine on campus. As always, there is a limited number of flu vaccines, so please notify the RN by email as soon as possible at  renesumlin@marionmilitary.edu.
