    Zerbe Health & Wellness Center FAQ

    Zerbe FAQs

    3.3.12.2-zerbe_faq-body-1.jpg

    Where is the Zerbe Health and Wellness Center located?

    The Zerbe Health and Wellness Center is located on Main St. Take the first driveway on the left past the Grove City College entrance (#21 on the campus map).

    What are the center's hours?

    The Zerbe Health and Wellness Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

    Does the center provide medical excuses?

    The center considers class attendance and assignment and exam completion to be between the student and their professor. The center does not issue medical excuses for absence due to illness or injury. If you are absent due to illness or injury you should notify your professor by email, in advance if possible. If you were seen in the center for the injury or illness, we will issue a verification of the visit.

    Exceptions to this policy may be made if the center staff feels that attendance would be detrimental to the student’s health or may cause others to become ill. Examples include influenza or acute gastroenteritis. In these instances a medical excuse will be issued. If you are seen by an outside medical provider you should receive a verification of the visit or a medical excuse.

    What health forms do I need to turn in?

    You are required to have a physical exam and to turn in a report of medical history and your immunization record upon admission. Complete the necessary forms and mail them to:

    Zerbe Health and Wellness Center
    100 Campus Drive
    Grove City College
    Grove City, PA 16127

    Who can use the Zerbe Health and Wellness Center?

    Any full-time student who completed their medical forms (including an entrance physical exam and record of immunizations) and who sign a consent for treatment may be seen and treated in the center.

    Do I need an appointment?

    Yes. At least one registered nurse is available during center hours, but appointments are required. Physician hours are available by appointment Monday through Friday in the afternoon. Call 724-458-3850 to schedule an appointment.

    When can I see a doctor?

    A physician or nurse practitioner can be seen Monday through Friday by appointment. Physician hours begin at 4 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday and at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. If you have a scheduled appointment, please notify the nurse upon arrival. Scheduled appointments will be seen in the order in which they arrive. The nursing staff will notify you if there is a change in physician hours.

    Does it cost anything to use the center?

    There is no cost to see a nurse, doctor, or physician assistant in the center. If you are referred outside of the center, e.g. for a lab or an x-ray, then you are responsible for those costs.

    Can I get medication, first aid, or other supplies at the center?

    The center has a variety of over-the-counter medications including acetaminophen, ibuprofen, cough and cold preparations, allergy medication, gastrointestinal medications, and topical medications available at no cost. We have a variety of first aid and orthopedics supplies, including crutches (available to lend), free of charge. A small number of prescription medications are also available to be dispensed by the physician or physician assistant during an office visit.

    I get allergy shots at home. Can I continue to get them at the center?

    The Zerbe Health and Wellness Center will administer allergy injections when the physician or physician assistant is present to students who are on maintenance immunotherapy. If you are not sure if you are on maintenance therapy, please consult your allergist and refer to the Allergy Injection Guidelines for more information on receiving allergy injections at the Zerbe Health and Wellness Center.

    How do I get to local hospitals or to medical appointments off campus?

    In an emergency, an ambulance may be dispatched or Campus Safety may transport you to the Grove City Medical Center Emergency Department. The Zerbe Health and Wellness Center is unable to provide transport for routine appointments off campus. If you are unable to arrange transportation for appointments, contact Superior Ambulance at 724-458-5350 to schedule a transport. Superior Ambulance changes $5 each way for local transport and requires a minimum of 24 hour notice.

    Are my visits to the center confidential?

    Your medical care and medical records are considered confidential, protected health information. No information will be released to parents, faculty, administrators, insurance companies, or anyone else without your permission. Exceptions to confidentiality are made if suicide or homicide are threatened, if you are in a life-threatening condition that requires that medical information be released to the professionals providing you care, or if we are requested to provide it by law for communicable disease reporting or by subpoena.
