A physician or nurse practitioner is available to provide outpatient clinical evaluation, treatment of minor illnesses, injuries, and also, evaluation and triage/referral for more serious illnesses or injuries.
The Health Center is also active in health promotion. Illness prevention measures, such as immunizations and flu vaccines, will be available periodically.
In case of more serious health problems, the Health Center can also serve as a resource that helps direct students to more appropriate health care.
