The Student Health Service is designed to provide care for those illnesses or accidents that may occur while the student is a campus resident and to coordinate with the resident student's personal physician in continuing treatment initiated at home.
Emergency care is available to commuter students.
Health Service personnel strive to maintain a good healthful environment for the student through various health education programs and individual counseling. During the fall and spring semesters, the Health Center is staffed 24 hours a day by registered nurses. The University physicians meet a regular clinic schedule and are on call at all times. When necessary, referral is made to qualified specialists or clinics in the Washington area.
