The Health and Safety of your student is the highest priority at the Word of Life Bible Institute. We have a medically trained staff on call in case of emergency. For non-emergency medicine, Upstate Concierge Medicine provides telemedicine access for routine illness and injuries. This service provides fast and easy health care access 24/7/365. All students are automatically enrolled as members in this program while they are enrolled at the Bible Institute. With this program, students have access to a physician by phone, with secure messaging and/or video chat. Please refer to the Student Handbook for more information. There are clinics located in Schroon Lake, 9 miles north of the Bible Institute, and Chestertown, located 5 miles south. The Glens Falls Hospital is the nearest hospital, located 35 miles south of Pottersville. If a student is admitted, the hospital staff will call the parents with full information. If a student is over the age of 18 we cannot release medical information to their parents unless the students have signed a HIPAA release form or something similar. ALL students are required to purchase accident insurance. This is a mandatory policy regardless of any other coverage you may have and is included as part of the semester fee. Please remember that our school insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions. If a student has a known chronic condition they should look into finding a specialist in the area that is in their insurance network.

Students need to submit a special permission request to travel home or anywhere that would involve an overnight stay except for official school breaks, or when on ministry. Students also need to receive a special permission to miss class (other than when sick), ministry, service assignments, or any required school events. Special Permissions are normally limited unless the student will not miss important parts of the Bible Institute program. Whenever possible, please plan to have all dental and medical work done during official school breaks. In the case of family emergencies, students should submit a special permission request and contact their respective Student Life Dean.
During summer ministry, arrangements should be made with the Camp
