Health Center Services
The Student Health Center provides health services to students during periods when class is in session. Our board-certified medical staff offers friendly, comprehensive care for acute and non-acute medical services.
In the event that a student requires care by a medical specialist or emergency care, the Health Center Staff will assist the student, as needed, to identify and/or transition care options.
Appointments are provided at no cost. If medication, testing, or a procedure is given/performed at the time of the appointment, a nominal fee may be charged, which a student can submit to insurance for reimbursement, if applicable.

Due to HIPAA laws, all student visits to the health center are confidential. Although we do bill the student account for certain services, the reason for these services is not disclosed to the parents without the student’s consent. We must respect our students’ privacy, so any conversations pertaining to the care of students cannot be discussed without their consent.
