Student Health Services
Health and wellness are Central. With the addition of fitness equipment in the wellness center on the lower level of the Maytag Student Center, the college has workout facilities conveniently located at each end of campus.
For health services, Central College has partnered with Pella Regional Health Center (PRHC) to provide patient care. The hospital and clinic are conveniently located within a mile of campus. Students who do not have access to a vehicle may contact 641-628-9000 to make arrangements for transportation to and from their appointments.
Students are able to access care at PRHC in three ways:
- Call the 24/7 Nurseline: Pella Regional patients get access to registered nurses for guidance 24 hours a day by calling 641-621-2200. Before a patient makes an unnecessary trip to an emergency room, a call to the 24/7 Nurseline can provide guidance to the most appropriate medical source. Staff will guide patients through their medical questions and direct them to the appropriate level of care for their health concern. This may include how to self-treat the condition at home, schedule a clinic appointment, contacting the on-call doctor or visiting an Emergency department.
- Schedule an appointment at the Pella Regional Health Clinic.
- Call 641-621-2200 or schedule online. Please identify yourself as a Central College student.
- Emergency Room (Level III Trauma Center) for acute injury or significant illness is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Students should bring a list of immunizations, allergies, prescribed medications, and chronic conditions as well as their insurance card with them to each clinic appointment or hospital visit.
