  3. Medical Care: We provide urgent care treatment and education about personal health issues. Walk-ins are welcome. No appointment required.

Services offered include:
  • Treatment of common health problems such as UTIs, respiratory infections, headaches, sexually transmitted infections, minor injuries and dermatological conditions
  • Well Woman Exams and Gynecological services 
  • STD testing
  • Referral service to area specialists, urgent care centers, and x-ray facilities

In the event of major medical problems, rest assured that we will connect you with local hospitals and specialists who can address your needs. Should you require X-rays, or dental care, our team can make referrals to trusted local physicians and agencies.

Please note that while we provide essential healthcare services, we are not a comprehensive care facility and cannot accommodate students with severe or critical illnesses. In such cases, we prioritize your safety and well-being by swiftly calling emergency or paramedic services to transport you to an appropriate healthcare agency. It's important to be aware that students are financially responsible for their transportation to and from these outside healthcare facilities.

 

As you consider your healthcare needs, you can obtain a detailed brochure describing the coverage from our Student Health Services office. Remember that students are responsible for covering any medical expenses they may incur.

Your health is a priority for us, and we're here to support you on your academic journey. If you have any questions or require assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to Student Health Services. Your well-being is our commitment, and we look forward to being a part of your SUNO experience.
