The Health Center is open on a drop-in-basis to advise students regarding minor illness, evaluate symptoms, and refer, if necessary, to local community clinics or doctors, and provide first aid for injuries or accidents. The nurse can provide information regarding general health, nutrition and diet, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy prevention, problems with smoking, alcohol/drugs and other health concerns. Blood pressure checks, vision and hearing testing, TB testing and pregnancy testing are also available.

Health information and listings of Health Center activities can be found in the Health Center and on bulletin boards located in the stairwells of Building 2. Watch for postings about special events.

Students who have health conditions or who are taking prescription medication, which may affect them on campus, are strongly encouraged to share this information with the College Nurse. All information given to the Health Center and services provided by the College Nurse are strictly confidential.

A group health and dental insurance plan is available to students at a reasonable cost. Students must be enrolled in 6 or more units per semester to be eligible for this coverage.
