Both locations are staffed by nurse practitioners (registered nurses with advanced training who are certified to prescribe medication), with physicians as consultants. Services available to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and their families include:

  •  Health education
  • Health assessment with complete physical examination
  • Women’s health care
  • Diagnosis and treatment of illnesses (such as sore throat, cough, or other infections
  • First aid for minor injuries

UHC is able to bill your insurance company directly. If the insurer does not reimburse UHC for the entire amount of your visit, you will be billed the remainder at a discounted rate.
