Have a medical emergency?
A healthy body is a healthy mind.
Whether you are feeling sick or need medical advice our professional staff of licensed Nurse Practitioners at Health Services are here to take care of you. Our mission is to provide coordinated health care, wellness education and disease prevention enabling students to achieve their academic goals.
Although Health Services does not currently bill student insurance for visits, any labs/imaging/prescriptions etc. performed or obtained off-site will be billed directly to the student's health insurance. This may result in a copay, deductible or balance due that is the student's responsibility. Health Services is not able to advise students regarding what may or may not be covered by their individual plan.
