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

All MMI Cadets are seen via telehealth appointments. The nurse will determine if an in-person appointment is necessary after the telehealth assessment. Cadets should not report in person to the Cadet Health Center unless directed by the nurse; cadets should call the nurse in the event of any emergency, injury, or illness.

• The Telehealth Nurse is available
  • DAILY APPOINTMENTS: Monday through Friday from 0700-1600
  • EMERGENCIES ONLY: Weekends and after-hours on Monday-Friday (1600-0700).
• Masks are required in the CHC at all times for all staff/faculty/cadets/visitors/escorts. If an in-person appointment is warranted, a mask will be required.
• Sick call will be from 0700-0800 via Telehealth call. (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 call the Telehealth Nurse for instructions. Cadets must see a physician and provide the CHC with a written note in order to be excused from class or other events, and will receive a profile, as appropriate. The cadet is expected to notify their instructor, and, if available, attend the classes online until time for their appointment.
• After-hours medical emergencies should call the Campus Safety and Security (OC) emergency cellular number: 334- 292-9690, and Cadet Health Center Nurse on Call (contact information for the Nurse on Call can be found on the daily message to cadets from HQ), 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 between 13:00 (1:00 pm) and 16:00 (4:00 pm) during their free time in the afternoons utilizing the Telehealth RN (Rene’ Sumlin).

Vaccines
Marion Military Institute partners with College City Drug and Vaughn Marion Clinic to make vaccines available (at a fee) for cadets.

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 vaccines, the insurance company will be billed first, and the cadet will be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles. College City Drug/ Vaughn Marion Clinic will bill for this service. As always, there is a limited number of some vaccines, so please notify the RN by email as soon as possible at renesumlin@marionmilitary.edu.
