University Health and Counseling provides outpatient clinical medical
care and, separately, psychological counseling services to students enrolled
in the university in accordance with policies set by the board of trustees
of The California State University.
The university underwrites a portion of the costs of operating the UHC.
Students, on a cost-sharing basis, contribute to the operation of the UHC
by paying at the time of registration each semester a mandatory health fee
which may only be used to support the student health program. Thereafter,
the student pays nothing further for most services provided within the Health
Center. The Health Center has prepared a brochure which gives greater detail
regarding services available and charges, if any, for such services. The
brochure is available at the UHC or at various locations on campus.
Facilities. The Health Center is uniquely designed as a medical building
with well-equipped doctors' offices and examination rooms linked by a computer-based
medical management system. Up-to-date laboratory, X-ray, pharmacy, and physical
therapy facilities are located in the building as well.
Our staff is fully qualified to meet your health care needs. Our
staff includes full-time physicians (including specialists in internal medicine
and family practice), nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, a physical
therapist, a health educator, a nutritionist, clinical laboratory and X-ray
technologists, and a medically knowledgeable and sensitive clerical staff.
Part-time physician consultants in orthopedics, psychiatry, radiology, and
dermatology are also available.
Counselors are professionals trained in counseling, social work,
psychology, and rehabilitation who assist students in acquiring a wide range
of skills in life management, career and life planning, and personal development
and growth. Through counseling, students are provided the opportunity to
discover more about themselves, where they want to go, and better ways of
getting there. The above services are not related to academic or
class counseling; academic counseling is not offered at the Health Center.
You may make appointments in person or by telephone. If you are under the
age of 18, we must have parental consent to treat you.
The Health Center provides a range of services to meet a woman's unique
medical needs. Contact the Health Center for a specific appointment and
service information.
Prescriptions and non-prescription medicines are available for a
modest fee. Physical therapy generally is available by referral from a Health
Center physician only.
The Health Center provides immunizations when clinically indicated.
You may purchase an insurance protection plan for emergency illness
and accidental injury during hours that the Health Center is closed.
