Student Health Services - The Infirmary

McNeese State University operates the Dr. Thomas Henry Watkins Infirmary for its students. Nurses are on duty daily and local doctors maintain regular office hours on the premises during most weekday mornings when classes are in session and at other times, as needed. Students are eligible to receive acute care services for occasional, routine health problems at little or no cost. Students in need of extended care for chronic or serious health problems are referred to local providers (private physicians and public health services) and are personally responsible for payment arrangements with those providers. Staff and faculty are eligible to receive emergency-only treatment.

The Watkins Infirmary is located off of Beauregard Drive, between Frazar Memorial Library and Kirkman Hall. The hours of operation are Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. To schedule an appointment call (337) 475-5748.

Whenever possible, please schedule your appointment in advance by calling or coming by the Student Health Center. If you cannot attend your scheduled appointment, for any reason, please call the center at 475-5748. Voice mail is available after hours. Two missed appointments will result in the loss of Infirmary privileges for the rest of the semester.

McNeese State University also has a Counseling Center.
