About Us
Health Services is open to all students, staff and faculty free of charge. All visits are kept confidential. We provide a safe haven for students and others during difficult or troubling times.
Our mission is to promote health education and wellness for our entire campus community, and to assist students in reaching their college and career goals.
Our registered nurses are available in the office to consult with students, faculty, and staff regarding common health concerns, such as cold and flu symptoms, minor injuries, headaches, etc., and more serious problems, such as eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, and pregnancy. We also serve as first responders when illness and injury occur on campus, to provide first aid and referrals to health providers as needed. We are available for telephone triage, especially during flu season.
Health Services maintains all student immunization and health records.
