Health Center 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 autimatically 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. 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. Permissions Students under 18 years of age must have on file a “Parental Permission Slip” signed by their parents or guardians. These cover a variety of items and are kept in the Student Life Department to assist them as they work with each student. 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 vacation periods. Students will be allowed special permission to attend weddings if they are in the wedding or if it is an immediate family member. In such cases, they are typically permitted to leave on Thursday after class and to return Monday by 5:00 PM. This would be during the regular school year. During the summer, arrangements should be made with the Camp Director. Vacation periods are listed in the school calendar. Students are usually not given permission to leave early or to return late and are expected to make travel arrangements which will enable them to arrive on time. If it is more convenient for the student to arrive a day earlier, they will be allowed to do so once they have contacted the Dean of Men/Women’s office.
