“Working with students on my Student Health Crew has been a wonderful and inspiring experience. So many of them want to continue on to careers in the health profession, and we provide them with the foundation and guidance they need to pursue those dreams. It is a privilege to write my crew members letters of recommendation for nursing and medical programs.”
Pat Parker, Health Center Nurse

Emergency & After Hours Care
Our Health Center is available for treatment of many medical concerns. However, our Health Center is not staffed or equipped to provide emergency treatment. If you, or someone around you, is experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911, and get appropriate treatment at a local emergency room. If you are experiencing medical or psychological difficulties outside our office hours, and don’t think you should wait for assistance, you may go directly to an urgent care facility or hospital emergency room.
