PURPOSE:
To clarify the services provided by the Health and Wellness office to
faculty and staff.
POLICY:
The Health and Wellness Office’s primarily role is to offer health
and wellness services to students. In addition to this, the office will
provide injury evaluation and first aid to employees who are injured on
the job. A flu clinic will be offered at cost each fall to faculty and
staff. With the exception of the Sisters of Mercy, it is expected that
all other health services required by faculty and staff will be obtained
through their own personal physician.
PROCEDURE:
All employees injured on the job should report to the Health and Wellness
office for evaluation. The medical staff member on duty will evaluate
the symptoms or injury and recommend appropriate follow-up. A clinical
evaluation form will be sent to the Human Resource Office for inclusion
in the employee’s worker’s compensation file. If further medical
attention is recommended, the Human Resource Office will refer the employee
to Occupational Health and Rehabilitation.
All seriously injured personnel will be sent directly to an emergency
room.
