Staff at SHS are available to students for patient care. We help students with health and medical concerns to empower them to become good health consumers. Enrolled students who have paid the health fee may have physician and nurse practitioner office visits at no additional charge. Health promotion, disease prevention and treatment services are available to all OSU students. User fees can be billed to a student's OSU account.
All students are highly encouraged to have health insurance.
Services are available year around, but may vary during term breaks and on holidays. Student Health Services is located in the Plageman Building. To avoid longer waiting, scheduled appointments are encouraged. Some wellness programs are co-promoted with staff from Residential Life as well as the Department of Recreational Sports. Unanticipated medical expenses can have tremendous consequences to a student's educational success.
