Student Life

Handbook | Student Health

We will communicate with parents when any issues arise outside the routine care for colds, flu, or minor accidents or illness. We encourage communication from parents regarding any special requests or concerns related to a student’s health needs. 

Insurance

ANC requires all students participating in athletics to carry private medical insurance and all resident students to be covered by private medical insurance during their tenure at ANC. Parents must provide the Doering Health Clinic with a copy of the student's medical insurance card and are expected to communicate any changes to coverage promptly. Any expenses incurred for prescription drugs, visits to the doctor’s office, tests, x-rays, and emergency are the responsibility of parents. ANC carries accident insurance which acts as a secondary policy to cover expenses not paid for by the student’s primary insurance in the event of an accident or injury occurring during a school sponsored activity. This policy does not cover expenses due to illness.

Boarding Student Medications

All boarding students and their parents are required to abide by the school policy related to medications in the dorm. This policy is sent to all parents of dorm students prior to the start of school. Additional copies are available through the school office. Failure to comply with the requirements may jeopardize a student’s resident status or standing in the school. All boarding students are required to have the meningitis vaccine prior to residing in the dorm. This is in addition to standard vaccines required by the State of Pennsylvania.

Day Student Medications

Day students receive medical care at the Doering Health Clinic only in emergencies.
