Affordable Health Services Available To UHMC Students

Run out of condoms? Fear not.

If you take a little walk to the east end of campus, down by the auto shop and carpentry buildings, you can stop by the Campus Health Center and grab some.

Grab a couple—or a whole bag—upon request.

No questions asked. They will gladly hand them over.

While you're in the Campus Health Center, check out all the brochures for every kind of health service you could imagine. Ask the friendly staff members about your concerns, and they'll either provide you with a service or get you set up with the Department of Health, which can take care of whatever else.

And the greatest thing of all? Most services are super cheap or free, even if you don't have insurance. Both students and non-students are welcome.

Specifically the Campus Health Center provides illness and injury treatment; physical exams; most women's health care exams; testing and treatments; immunizations; HIV, STD and other laboratory screenings; X-rays; and vaccinations. They also have a wonderful Family Planning clinic.

For students needing to take a Tuberculosis (TB) or Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) test to register for school, you can get them here—right on campus. If you need to drop off your medical records to register, there's a drop box on the side of the Campus Health Center building, so even if they're closed, you can still get it done.

Like any other health clinic, make an appointment for services or to talk with someone in depth about your health concerns. Some services are free, others have a nominal fee, but prices range depending on your circumstances.

According to Marlene, the Campus Health Center Office Manager, "We're trying to keep our student body healthy."
