Health Services
Our mission is to provide a quality health program that enables every student to reach an optimum state of physical, mental, social and emotional well-being in order to maximize the benefit of his or her educational experience. All student medical information is stored in MAGNUS, our HIPAA compliant electronic medical record.
- Per Maryland state law, all NEW (freshman and transfer) students are required to submit an Immunization Record before the start of school.
- Good Counsel does not recognize religious objections for required immunizations.
- Every student must have a NEW Physician Physical completed on the Good Counsel Form. The form is REQUIRED and should be downloaded from Magnus to take to your doctor’s appointment. (Can be completed by MD, NP or PA).
- New physical requirements must be completed upon enrolling at Good Counsel and every year thereafter. Physicals, along with all other Magnus requirements, are due August 1st.
- Please notify the nurses if your child has had a change in health or medication after you have completed the above forms.
