This Center provides a variety of services for students. It is staffed by a full time registered nurse. Emergency medical care, first aid, medical information and referral, and crisis counseling are provided free of charge to all students currently enrolled at IRSC who possess a valid student I.D. card. The promotion of personal well-being is the focus of the Center. Literature and audio visual materials are available on a variety of health and wellness topics. In addition, an individual assessment of overall well-being is provided to students upon request, along with assistance in the development and implementation of a personal plan of change designed to increase overall wellness.

Florida law now requires that a postsecondary institution provide detailed information concerning the risks associated with Meningococcal Meningitis and Hepatitis B and the availability, effectiveness, and known contraindications of any required or recommended vaccine to every student, or to the student’s parent if the student is a minor, who has been accepted for admission.
