Pioneers Memorial Healthcare District was selected as provider of our basic health services such as first aid and care for minor illnesses. The services also include health screenings, health promotion vaccinations and mental health counseling. Walk-in and appointment services are available and can be accessed by visiting or contacting the Student Health Center (SHC), (760) 355-6310.  Services are not available when IVC is not in session.

To access the services offered, every student must:

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

If you have a life-threating illness or injury that requires an ambulance, call 911 immediately.  Emergency costs are not covered by Student Health Services.

The Student Health Fee allows students to receive health services on campus and at various health centers in the community.  The fee is not related to health insurance and is required whether or not students choose to use the Center.  The Board of Governors (BOG) fee waiver will not cover this fee.  Students receiving a BOG will need to pay the fee.  Exemptions from the fee may be granted for the following:

* Students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization.

* Students who are attending IVC under an approved apprenticeship training program.
