Superior State University's Health CARE Center provides holistic continuous and comprehensive care to clients of all ages. The Center's focus is on health promotion and preventive care, detection and treatment of illness in collaboration with clients and other health care providers. The LSSU Health CARE Centers are staffed with Certified Family Nurse Practitioners and Registered Professional Nurses, and other health care professionals.
Physician support is available as needed.
LSSU student nurses also provide supervised services in the Centers. CNPs offer services ranging from complete health assessments, care of acute minor illnesses, such as sore throats, earaches, bladder infections, and the management of stable chronic illnesses, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. CNPs provide cost-effective options to traditional health care. Physicians work in collaboration with nurse practitioners, so that physician collaboration is available to clients who develop complex or serious medical conditions.
