If you are unsure if you need to be seen or need medical advice, students and employees can speak with our Nurse Triage Team by calling the health center.

The health center is committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for patients and staff. We recognize patients can find some consultations, examinations, or procedures distressing, and may prefer to have a chaperone present for support.
