Health Resources
Your physical health is important to us. Our experience at Stetson University College of Law tells us that medical issues or the need for medical treatment can distract students from their studies. In addition, we have grown increasingly concerned about students' inability to obtain basic health care and the increase in medical-related student drop-out rates.
Health insurance provides protection for many unexpected illnesses and injuries that can interrupt the student educational experience. In our experience, students without health insurance often defer or neglect their health and health care because of the expense. No student should have to decide between continuing his or her education and paying a medical bill.
While Stetson Law's size renders it impractical for us to establish and maintain an onsite health services program, we have posted below local provider information available for students.
