Chesley Health & Wellness Center

Reflecting the educational mission of Illinois College, the Chesley Health and Wellness Center provides health care and support for the whole person. Health Services seeks to maximize each individual’s potential physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually.

The Chesley Center provides culturally sensitive primary medical care for acute medical illnesses and injuries to meet the needs of all enrolled students, faculty and staff. Health Services promotes wellness through education regarding: healthy lifestyles, disease and injury prevention, public health initiatives and management of chronic illness or disability. Each individual is expected to be personally responsible and actively participate with the staff to attain/maintain his/her health status.

Immunizations

As of July 1989 all students born after January 1, 1957 registering for the first time at public or private colleges in Illinois must present evidence of immunity against vaccine-preventable diseases. If no proof of immunization, certification of medical exemption or statement of religious objection is presented, the student will not be permitted to register for courses (Public Act 85-1315). The American College Health Association highly recommends all incoming first year students be immunized for prevention of meningococcal meningitis, hepatitis B, and varicella (chicken pox) if the student has no previous history of chicken pox.

Health Certificate Form Policy

The Health Care Certificate for New Students is a two section form. Both forms must be completed and returned to the Chesley Health and Wellness Center by August 1. The Health Care Provider Section must be completed by your health care provider within six months of college entrance. Completion of all items will expedite your progress through new student orientation. Failure to provide the completed Health Care Certificate by the tenth day of classes will result in a non-refundable $25.00 fee. New students will not be allowed to register for the following semester if these forms are not completed.
