 Employees(Faculty and Staff) H&WC Services * In order to improve the level of health care services provided to New Jersey City University students, the University announces the implementation of a policy change in the eligibility criteria for utilization of the University’s Health & Wellness Center. Effective January 2, 2009, the Health & Wellness Center (H&WC) will provide health services exclusively to NJCU students. For the time being the H&WC will continue to see employees with workman's compensation injuries.
As a result, the Health & Wellness Center will no longer provide routine health services, supplies, or medication to NJCU employees. Providing treatment exclusively for students is the standard of care in Health and Wellness Centers at other New Jersey State Colleges and Universities. Non-students seeking care at the H&WC will be directed to contact their own health care provider for advice and assistance. Employees are encouraged to carry their own personal supply of over-the-counter medications (i.e. Tylenol, Aspirin, etc.).
In the event of a health related emergency presenting to the H&WC, the staff will provide assistance to the employee awaiting the arrival of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Public Safety will be alerted and the local 911 Jersey City EMS response will be activated by the Health and Wellness Center. Supervisors are not to send employees to the H&WC for confirmation of illness or assessment for fitness for duty.
The NJCU Public Safety Department (PSD) will continue to respond to all requests for medical emergency assistance occurring outside of the H&WC. Please remember to call X-3128 to report all medical emergencies to the Public Safety Department.
Policy for employees who also hold part or full-time student status: If the NJCU employee is a full-time employee and is covered by NJCU Health benefits, they will not receive care at the H&WC with the exeception of workman's compensation issues or life-threatening medical emergencies.
Questions related to this policy change should be directed to the Human Resources Department at X-2335. The H&WC also reserves the right to restrict services and/or programs (such as HIV testing or other services) to students only.
Health Benefits Health benefits for NJCU employees are managed by the NJCU Human Resources Department in Hepburn Hall, Rm 105 (201) 200-2335.
Work-Related Injuires (Workman's Compensation) If incident or injury occurs while on duty
