Thank you for supporting University of Mississippi students. While Rebel Aid has not yet launched, our students need your support now. Please click here to make a gift to the Health Center.
The very health care professionals who take care of us need our care.
While there is an ever-growing need for health care services on our campus, the demands being placed on University Health Services by COVID-19 have never been greater. The doctors, nurses and staff with Health Services at Ole Miss, like health care providers across the globe, are on the front lines of this pandemic.
Gifts to University Health Services will allow the Student Health Center and Employee Health Services to continue to procure personal protective equipment such as masks, gowns, gloves and face shields. This equipment is crucial for the treatment of possible COVID-19 patients. Health Services has been providing free COVID-19 testing to eligible students, faculty and staff, but these tests are costly.
In an effort to maximize efficiency and the number of patients it can serve, Health Services is operating on an appointment-only basis for urgent care and sick visits. The health care workers here have also had to adapt to telemedicine with the limited equipment they have, so additional funds can be used to equip its offices with an updated platform to allow for virtual visits in the future.
Just as the staff at University Health Services praises the resiliency of our students, faculty and staff, we are inspired by our health care providers’ dedication to the Ole Miss family and we know that – with your support – they will continue to be there for us.
As we treat patients in the midst of a global pandemic, it is critically important that we protect our providers bravely serving our population. A box of 10 N95 masks is $24.99 but allows our doctors and nurses to perform their live-saving work protected. Your gift helps pay for these critical personal protective equipment as we face COVID-19.
The COVID-19 test is FREE to all students and employees at Ole Miss. The Health Center is committed to providing this critical resource to our community. In order to do this, the Health Center is covering the costs of testing out of pocket at a rate of $51 for each patient. Your gift helps offset these costs and ensures EVERY student and employee who meet the criteria for testing receives it for free.
Students are able to access the on-campus Health Center with no office visit charge. By supporting this vital resource, you are investing in the health and well-being of Ole Miss students and the general campus community.
The Student and Employee Health Center is available by appointment only, M-F, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Investing in this critical resource is more important than ever, as our campus community navigates this unprecedented global pandemic.
As our world faces the impact of COVID-19, there is a widely shared appreciation for the doctors and nurses who put our best interests above their own. Consider a gift in honor of a doctor, nurse or nurse practitioner in your life.
