Health Center

Our Health Center supports the university by providing timely and quality, cost-effective healthcare to students, while being committed to exceptional customer service. Quality healthcare is provided by competent nurses and medical providers, who all work in tandem to offer our students healthy lifestyle choices. Our center is staffed with two Registered Nurses, a Medical Secretary, Contracted Pharmacist (works 8 hours per week/10 months per year), Registered Nurse Director and Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (part-time, in collaboration with a local Physician).

In order to maintain a healthy and safe campus environment, students are required to submit up-to-date immunization information upon enrolling at the university. In addition to completing the university’s Health Evaluation Form, students must complete a physical examination and provide proof of two measles immunizations (MMR) and a tuberculosis test (not older than 12 months). It should be noted that complete privacy and confidentiality of records are enforced according to the Health Insurance Portability and Account Act (HIPPA) and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Students can visit our Health Center, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am until 5:00 p.m. Appointments in our Health Center are not required, but encouraged. Students must provide a student identification card before being served, and sign-in during check-in procedures, acknowledging that they understand and agree with all services provided by the staff—prior to receiving services.

Our Health Center provides activities and events that focus on the health and well-being of our students, via educational programming and in accordance with the National Health Calendar. These programs are planned in collaboration with other units within the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, as well as academic departments, student organizations and residence halls. Past programming topics have included: 1) Breast Cancer Awareness; 2) Health Fairs; 3) STD/STI/HIV Testing; 4) Sexual Health Responsibility Forums.
