This web site has been designed to provide FSC students
with quick and easy-to-find answers to their health care questions.
If this is the first time you are responsible for your health
care we will assist you in understanding how to access the
health care system.
Our clinic is located in the Anthony Building across from
the Sanders Administration Building and we are here to serve
you. We can be reached at (978) 665-3216 and our fax
is (978)-665-3641.
Mission Statement:
The physical health and well being of all students is essential
for academic success. Our professional staff is committed
to offering you quality, confidential medical care. We will
coordinate ongoing care with your primary care provider if
needed. We also believe you are responsible for your own health
and we encourage all students to learn the skills to care
for themselves.
Confidentiality:
FSC Student Health Services is legally and ethically obligated
to protect patients' right to privacy. Your medical records
are strictly confidential. All FSC Health Services staff is
required to sign a statement of adherence to our confidentiality
policies. No one other than FSC Health Services staff has
access to your medical records without your prior written
permission. This restriction includes your parents, faculty
and staff or outside agencies. In life-threatening emergencies
only pertinent information will be released to appropriate
parties.
If a student is younger than 18 years of age, any care that
is sought or provided related to reproductive health is also
a confidential matter and will not be disclosed to a parent
unless Student Health Services has prior written permission
from the student. In the event that a student reports abuse
or there is suspected abuse the providers at Health Services
are mandated to report the abuse to the Massachusetts Department
of Social Service.
If you wish to have your records released to yourself or another facility you
must sign the Authorization for Release of Medical Records
form that is available in Health Services.
