Cases requiring emergency treatment after office hours may receive care from the Marshall County Hospital Emergency Room or the Memphis Methodist Hospital. Local doctors are used for office calls. Complete physical examinations are required for admission to Rust College. The main objective of the health center is to keep the student in the classroom and as healthy as possible.
