Health Services

Cumberland University offers referrals to several physicians in the immediate area who are available to students. The Dean of Students and others will coordinate health educational awareness and prevention information. Referral information and resources for other medical conditions will be provided.

Cumberland also maintains a positive working relationship with the local hospital and medical community. Tennova, located in Lebanon, is a full-service hospital in close proximity, which allows easy access for students. The Wilson County (Tennessee) Emergency Management Ambulance/Paramedical Station is only a few blocks from campus.

Should a student become physically ill and/or require assistance in obtaining medical attention, he/she should contact Campus Security or the Dean of Students. After regular business hours, residence hall students should contact their Resident Director and/or the Director of Residence Life/Housing. Cumberland University is not responsible for any charges incurred by a student at a hospital or from a healthcare provider.

The University reserves the right to notify parents, guardians, and/or spouses in the case of illness or injury of any student when, in the professional opinion of University representatives, these individuals should be notified.
