Health Services
There are hospitals, day clinics (phone ahead for appointment) and pharmacies in Drumheller, Three Hills and Strathmore. The nearest hospital is located in Drumheller, 35 km. northeast of Rosebud.
Medical Emergencies
The student life advisor may be contacted in case of a medical emergency. Supervisors of the Mercantile Dining Room and Stage Managers have first aid certification. The 911 service is available in the Rosebud area.
Students outside the Province
Students from other provinces and countries are encouraged to continue their provincial/national medical coverage and should be able to provide their medical insurance identification number when they visit health services.
Communication
The physical and mental demands of classroom and performance work should not be underestimated. Students must note on their application any special needs or limitations and give an accurate account of their medical and psychological history, so that the Rosebud staff can make appropriate accommodation. Experience has demonstrated that applicants who inform of us of their needs up-front generally experience little trouble during the school year and are successful in their studies. Applicants who try to “down-play” their condition do not fare as well. Rosebud School of the Arts expects truthful communication. You are assured that your needs will be treated with respect and confidentiality.
Counseling Programme
The Counselling Programme facilitates professional counselling for students, staff and their families. Rosebud provides facilities and travel expenses for a counsellor coming from Calgary and subsidizes counselling fees to a certain amount for clients not covered under a health care plan.
Students are eligible for a subsidy out of the Student Aid Fund of $39 towards a counselling session costing $65/hour. The subsidy covers 60% of $65 = $39. The student pays 40% of $65 = $26. Students are eligible for this subsidy if they are not covered for counselling under their parents’ health care plan.
