Student Health Services is a nurse operated medical facility. A nurse will evaluate your symptoms and deliver over-the-counter treatment. A full-time Nurse Practitioner and a Physician Assistant is available for prescriptions. A college physician is available by appointment only. The clinic stocks many over-the-counter medications, first-aid supplies, and prescription medications. Referrals to specialists or other private physicians are made when necessary. Appointments are available and walk-ins are welcome, but all situations the nurse deems as an emergency will be taken first.
