Serious problems are assessed on an urgent basis. You can usually see a provider within a day for non-urgent diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury, but you may need to wait longer for elective examinations. As a satellite office for the Family Planning Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania and the Temple University Hospital Family Planning Program,we offer family planning and gynecological services, including Pap smears and birth control. An intake evaluation will determine if you are eligible for these services, which are provided on a sliding fee scale. If needed, a primary care staff physician or nurse practitioner can refer you to our staff dermatologist.
Appointments are available three half-days per week.
Student Health Service nurses will give allergy and immunization injections for an additional fee. The nurses will give allergy injections only if provided with detailed written orders and vaccines from your allergist. Vaccines can be stored in Student Health, Allergy patients must remain at Student Health for 20 minutes after their injections. Depending on the test ordered, it may be performed at Student Health Services, at Temple University Hospital,or at the Public Health laboratory. There is a charge for most lab work done at Student Health service and for all studies done at Temple University Hospital.
