LIMITATIONS TO SERVICES: Chronic Illnesses / Pregnancy: The Student Health Center does not provide care for chronic illnesses (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.) or pregnancy. Students with these conditions must be under the care of a personal health care provider for the management of these conditions. Evaluation and treatment of certain non-related acute illnesses may be available at the Health Center, in collaboration with the personal health care provider. Holidays, Nights, and Weekends: The Student Health Center provides care for students only when the university is in session. There are no services available on weekends, holidays or after hours. Students in need of medical services during these times are urged to contact one of the Local Medical Facilities. Work-related Injuries / Workman's Comp: Work-related injuries occurring off-campus must be evaluated and treated by the student's private physician, or a health care provider designated by the student's employer. Lamar University employees, student assistants, and other university assistants who receive an injury while working at the university will report to their immediate supervisor for instructions regarding treatment. All work-related injuries must be reported to Human Resources immediately. Automobile Accidents: Students who sustain injuries as a result of an automobile accident must receive initial evaluation and treatment by a private off-campus physician, local clinic, or hospital emergency department. The Student Health Center does not provide initial evaluation or treatment for these types of injuries due to the possibility of long term health needs, and the lack of immediate access to diagnostic tests such as x-ray services.
