Our Mission: To provide appropriate, affordable, accessible and high quality health care

Primary Care

About Primary Care

Primary care describes first‐contact healthcare that’s comprehensive rather than specialized.

Primary care providers handle disease prevention and health promotion, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries, management of chronic medical problems, and coordination of medical care with specialists. They also educate patients on gaining control of their health.

Conditions Treated

Our providers see students for a variety of common conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Colds and flu‐type illnesses
  • Acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries, including motor vehicle accidents (X‐rays can be taken at the Student Health)
  • Rashes and other skin disorders
  • Headaches and head injuries
  • Ear infections
  • Sore throat and other mouth or neck problems
  • Asthma and other chest symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath
  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems
  • Exposure to infectious diseases, such as rabies, strep, mono, and Lyme disease
  • Sexually transmitted disease screening, including HIV treatment and counseling and STI Express (click HERE for more information).
  • Pregnancy testing
  • Co-management of anxiety and depressive disorders with the Counseling Center
