Health Services and Insurance

Bladen Community College does not provide medical or hospital services and does not assume responsibility for injuries incurred by students when participating in sports, physical activity courses, class, or student activities. The college does not provide medical or hospital services; however, first aid supplies are located in all buildings for minor treatments. In the event of injury or illness, the student should notify a faculty or staff member. If the situation necessitates immediate attention, the employee in the responsible area where an emergency occurs will dial “911” to request medical assistance and dial “5500” to notify the receptionist. The responsibility for medical services rests with students and/or their parents or guardians. Emergency facilities are located nearby at Bladen County Hospital. Transportation to receive medical services will not be provided by college staff members; however, college officials will assist the student in contacting emergency services or an individual as designated by the student.

All students are required to purchase insurance to cover accidents. The cost of this accident insurance is $3 per semester (subject to change). In addition, students enrolled in health-related classes must pay a liability insurance fee of $20.00 per semester (subject to change). The student is personally responsible for all expenses associated with the rendered emergency services.
