Regular appointments can be scheduled with a primary care practitioner for services including:

Routine Medical Services
Acute and Chronic Medical Concerns
Health Education
STD Screenings
Women’s Health
Men’s Health

The focus is to identify and treat most common medical illnesses and injuries. Appointments can be made in advance by simply calling, coming in to the Center or going online to make an appointment. During your primary care appointment, medical history and issues are assessed.

Walk-In Care

When the unexpected injury happens or attention to a sudden illness is needed during our business hours, you may be seen at the student health services without an appointment.

For urgent, but not life-threatening, medical concerns, you are welcome to walk-in during business hours. You will be triaged based on medical condition, severity of illness, urgency and appointment availability. Depending on patient volume, wait time can vary. Your cooperation and patience is appreciated.

Specialty Care and Services

Most patients can have their needs met through our primary care services, but sometimes you may have a specialized need. Our specialized services include immunization medications, travel medicine services, nutrition services and physical therapy services.

Emergencies

The Cowell Center Student Health Services does not have an Emergency Room, please call for an ambulance or paramedic assistance right away. Be prepared to identify your location and situation. Please call 9-1-1 for an emergency.
