Health services
Northwestern students have free access to health care services by a certified family nurse practitioner. Services provided include assessment, diagnosis and treatment of acute illnesses and minor injuries. Referrals are made to other health care providers if necessary. Medical information is also available.
The health services clinic is located in the Wellness Center in the Rowenhorst Student Center. Appointments may be made by contacting office manager Kim Wright at ext. 7321 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
All incoming freshmen and transfer students must submit a Northwestern College physical examination form, signed by your physician, to the college's Wellness Center. This form is due July 1 for students entering in the fall, and by the first day of classes for students entering at the start of the spring semester. (Log onto your "My Northwestern" account and answer the medical history questions, after which you can download the form to take along to your exam.)
The hepatitis B vaccine series and the conjugate meningitis vaccine are STRONGLY recommended. Recent literature also recommends a Tdap booster between ages 11 and 19 years.
The Orange City Area Health System, which includes a clinic and hospital, is located just east of campus on Highway 10.
Clinic: 712-737-2000
Hospital: 712-737-4984 or 800-808-6264
