Medical Health Insurance

Please be aware that many university and state medical insurance plans do not provide coverage if you are away from the institution or out-of-state. Check your current medical insurance plan to confirm medical coverage is provided during your stay at JLab.

If your plan does not provide coverage, please email your name to jris@jlab.org and someone will be in touch with information about medical coverage during your stay at the Laboratory.

2011 Summer Picnic

Was a great success. Thank you to all of those who helped with planning and cooking!
