Health Center

Knox College provides an innovative health care program for all students, regardless of whether they purchase supplemental health insurance through the College. Students receive basic care from the on-campus Student Health Center. This Center ensures that all students have access to a medical practitioner for basic health care needs. (Chronic or extended medical conditions are not covered.) Students are not required to use the Student Health Center and may arrange for health care services from other providers at their own expense.

Service at the on-campus Student Health Center is available during business hours while classes are in session. For nights, weekends and during breaks (except summer break), the College contracts with off-campus facilities to provide basic health care.
See What To Do When You Get Sick for more information on where to go and when.
