The College employs a Registered Nurse. The Student Health Office is located in the northwest corner of the Beth Tedrow Student Center and is open to all students and employees. Office hours are Monday- Thursday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. & Friday 8 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The top priority of Garden City Community College is the safety and health of students, staff, and the community. GCCC asks that you be vigilant and help decrease the spread of respiratory illnesses by getting vaccinated, by washing hands, social distancing, wearing a face mask & staying home when experiencing symptoms.
Services offered through the health office includes: health assessment, pregnancy testing, weight and blood pressure checks, annual influenza vaccinations, nutrition counseling, assistance with community healthcare, health/wellness education, prevention issues, literature distribution and general first aid. Over- the-counter medications are available through the student health center. For information on other services through the Student Health Office, please contact the nurse. All records and conversations are strictly confidential.
Health and Hospital Protection
The College does not offer a student health insurance program. Students who do not have health and hospitalization protection covered by their parents, spouses or employers are responsible for their own health insurance coverage, and the College assumes no responsibility for health insurance plans. Information on individual student health insurance plans is available from the Student Health Nurse and on the College Web site at https://www.gcccks.edu/student_life/health_services.aspx.
