Student Health Services
Student Health Services provides medical, psychological, and wellness support services to our students year-round. The mission of Student Health Services is to promote the health and well-being of students to foster their learning and success.
Through high-quality, comprehensive, holistic healthcare and support, we help students become thoughtful health consumers and advocates for their own well-being and that of others.
The Reference Guide to Mental Health, Medical Services and Student Support provides necessary resources to identify and refer students in need of immediate support and resources. You’ll find a full list of phone numbers, email addresses, and web links referenced in this guide.
