Students are also informed of community resources that are available to them and are educated to become more effective health care consumers. Each semester there are several groups that are conducted by staff on such topics as procrastination, incest survivors, eating disorders, relaxation, and meditation. These services are provided by nurse specialists and nurse practioners. A very limited part-time physician is available by prior appointment as a consultant for nurses. This service includes PAP, STD screening, breast exam, birth control methods, etc.
Many services are free.
However, some services have a fee on a sliding scale basis or a small supply fee. Students are financially responsible for all of their off-campus health care charges. The Student Health Center is largely supported by the Health Fee paid by credit students each semester. For more information and for service hours, inquire at B201.
