Infirmary Welcome Letter

Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year at HPA! The Health Services Department works to improve each student’s health by providing the following:

Administration of first aid; treating minor medical problems, e.g. cuts and bruises; counseling and referral for social, emotional, and physical problems; monitoring diseases to control their spread; working with the Department of Health to provide screening services; maintaining a safe and healthy school environment; and teaching health-related topics such as nutrition, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs (ATOD), sexuality, including human reproduction, and interpersonal relationships. We encourage you to visit us if you have any health related question.

When necessary, the health services staff will provide transportation to medical/dental appointments for boarding students. Please review the health questions and responses listed under the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link for more detailed information about taking medication, what to do if you are not feeling well, and required health forms and health insurance. You also may e-mail us at infirmary@hpa.edu.

The Health Services Department is located in Taylor Commons below the dining hall and is staffed from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, when school is in session. There is a nurse on call after hours and on the weekends.

Stay healthy!
Health Services Staff
