Health Center

The Health Center is located on the second floor of the Napolitan Student Center in the Counseling and Health Center suite. All students of Franklin College with a health record on file are eligible for services in the Health Center at no charge. The Health Center sees students on a walk-in basis, thus no appointment is necessary.

The Health Center is staffed by an RN five days a week. A local group of family practice physicians are available in the clinic on designated days. The Health center is open Monday – Friday 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.  The office can be reached by calling (317) 738-8090.
