Student Health is organized to provide a comprehensive range of physical and mental health services to students at minimal or no cost. Operating as a unified service, it integrates medical and counseling functions to efficiently address student needs while minimizing disruptions to academic pursuits.
The program offers outpatient primary care, medical consultation and referrals, wellness education, human sexuality services, and management of student health insurance. Mental health services include short-term individual counseling, group sessions, workshops on study skills and test anxiety, and consultation or referrals to other campus or community resources. Emphasizing student development, Student Health promotes wellness and personal responsibility.
Services are delivered by a team of physicians, nurses, and support staff capable of addressing a broad spectrum of outpatient needs, with referrals to specialists as necessary. Health education and outreach are integral, along with mandatory immunization compliance, medical testing, and health record reviews conducted in collaboration with academic and administrative units.
