Welcome to the Student Health Center
The
Student Health Center has as its mission the promotion of the physical,
emotional, social, and environmental well-being of students and staff in the
campus setting. Our broad goals include: increasing a healthy life style
span, reducing disease and illness, and providing access to preventative
services. The SHC provides interventions which have health promotion,
preventative service, and surveillance components.
Your Student Health Center is staffed by dedicated health care
professionals who are here to provide for your primary health care needs
while you are away form home. The Student Health Center is located on the
first floor of the Student Services Building on Fifth Street across from the
School of Health & Human Performance and the tennis courts.
Medical Clinic
The Student Health Center is staffed by a medical director/physician, nurse practitioners,
laboratory technician, x-ray technician, nurses, and support staff.
Sick Call
Sick call is Monday through Friday, 9:00am-10:30am; and students
MUST be signed in before 10:30am. Sick call is for students who have been
injured or became ill after the Student Health Center has closed the evening
before.
Appointments are required in the afternoon. Call 237-3883 to schedule an
appointment. Please plan accordingly because any emergencies coming in take
priority over sick call and appointments.
During peak periods, it may be necessary to recommend other health care
facilities in the area to meet your health care needs. At other times,
referrals may be necessary due to the unavailability of the required
service. Students are responsible for any charges incurred at the referred
facility.
