Health Services

The health services office provides preventative and maintenance health care services, as well as health and wellness education to the LSMSA community. Our full-time registered nurse (RN) and full-time certified nursing assistant (CNA) are located in the Student Wellness Center for day services. The nurse makes rounds at both residence halls each weekday starting at 7:30 a.m. and is on-call at all times when students are present.

Health and wellness services offered to our students include the following:

Assessment and treatment for illnesses
Scheduling local doctors appointments and coordinating transportation
Consultation regarding prescription and non-prescription medications
Administration of medications
Allergy injections (student's parent must provide serum, syringe and doctor's order)
Breathing treatments (student's parent must provide medication and doctor's order)
Administration of the flu vaccine
Education on topics such as smoking, alcohol use, skin cancer, eating disorders, healthy eating and sexually-transmitted diseases
Referrals to appropriate community practitioners

If necessary, additional services are available through the nearby Natchitoches Regional Medical Center Walk-in Clinic. Whenever more urgent diagnostic or treatment procedures are needed, the Natchitoches Regional Medical Center Hospital offers an emergency room and a staff of consultants trained in most health specialties.
