The purpose of the Student Health Service is to provide competent primary health care by qualified personnel for currently enrolled students. Services available include the treatment of acute and existing illnesses, urgent care for injuries, individual counseling for health maintenance, and various health promotion activities. The Student Health Service is located in the L.Y. Lancaster wing of the Academic Complex. The staff includes health educators, physicians, nurses, a pharmacist, a radiologic technologist, medical laboratory technologists, administrators and clerical personnel. Full-time students are assessed a mandatory health fee as part of tuition. Part-time students are assessed the health fee during their first clinic visit each semester. After payment of the health fee, there is no charge for regular office visits. X-rays, laboratory tests and prescriptions are charged at reduced rates. The Student Health Service is open 12 months a year, Monday through Friday, when classes are in session. For more information, call the Student Health Service at (502) 745-5643.
