Health and Wellness

Students are encouraged to tell their instructors of medical conditions and to provide an emergency contact on their application for admission. If you miss class because of sickness, you need to contact your instructor.

First Aid and Medical Emergencies. Mitchell has no facilities for medical treatment other than minor first aid. A first aid kit is available in each building. If a medical or life-threatening emergency exists, go to the nearest phone and dial “911.” If using a campus phone, it may be necessary to dial “9” first. Then call Campus Security at ext. 5555. Responsibility for medical services rests with the student. The College uses the Iredell County EMS and the Emergency Care units of Davis Regional Medical Center, Iredell Memorial Hospital, and Lake Norman Regional Medical Center for medical emergencies.

Communicable Disease Policy. The College does not want to spread communicable diseases, so we will maintain a safe and healthy work environment and educate staff, students and the community. The College will comply with all state and federal laws or regulations regarding these issues.

Disposal of Medical Waste. All medical waste, including needles, diabetic blood and urine testing material, must be disposed of properly. For exact locations of approved medical waste disposal containers, contact Campus Security at (704) 978-5444.
