The medical aspect of our clinic operates very similarly to a primary care office that you might find in the community. They are able to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for everyday health issues, and can refer to specialists for more advanced medical issues. Students experiencing a major emergency are encouraged to go directly to Sky Lakes Medical Center (located across the street from campus). Visits are at NO COST for students who are registered for 6 or more credits (i.e. who have paid the Student Health Fee) and we offer low cost for vaccinations, laboratory work, and minor procedures.

Acute Illness and Injury Care
Same day care is available for students with urgent medical needs during regular hours. The RN will evaluate your medical complaint or injury when you call or come in. If your problem is not urgent, you will be asked to return for an appointment. We know your time is valuable, and we will make every effort to serve your needs in a timely manner.
Birth Control
The ISHC provides comprehensive birth control services to students. Whether you are seeking information about birth control or you need help selecting a method that is suitable to your health, lifestyle and relationship, our Registered Nurse or Advanced Practice Nurse can help.
Chronic Disease Management
Our Family Practice Physician and Advanced Practice Nurse are available for the assessment, monitoring, and treatment of ongoing or chronic conditions-to the extent to which they are trained, and as long as it remains in the best interest of the student. More complex conditions may require referral to an off-campus specialist. Off campus treatments and evaluation is the financial responsibility of the student.
Immunizations
The following vaccinations are available at the Integrated Student Health Center:
- MMR
- Tetanus and Tdap
- Hepatitis B
- Influenza
- Tuberculosis Skin Test
Laboratory Services
Some laboratory tests to diagnose strep throat, mono, pregnancy, elevated blood sugar, and urinary problems are available in the clinic for a minimal charge. Other laboratory tests can be drawn at the clinic and sent to an outside laboratory. Diagnostic tests and x-rays, which cannot be done on campus, are referred to outside agencies at the student's expense.
Men's Health
Sexual health problems of men may include concerns about sexuality, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, urinary tract infections and prostate conditions. Men need to be as concerned about their sexual organs as women. We encourage male students to do regular monthly self-exams of the testicles to check for abnormalities or lumps that may indicate a serious condition.
Minor Surgical Procedures
Some minor surgical procedures to repair lacerations, remove or biopsy skin lesions, and treat ingrown toenails are available in the clinic for a nominal charge. An initial visit maybe needed to discuss options, which is followed by a later appointment for the procedure. Referrals are made to outside specialists for more complex problems.
STI Screening and HIV Testing
The ISHC provides counseling and screening for sexually transmitted infections through a combination of examinations and laboratory tests. Confidential screening for HIV is available by appointment for a minimal fee. Feel free to schedule an appointment to discuss the risks and exposure routes of HIV to help you decide if testing is right for you.
Wart Treatments
Wart treatment and removal is available by appointment.
Women's Health
Sexual health problems of women may include concerns about sexuality, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, urinary tract infections and cervical cancer concerns. An annual exam is recommended for all women. The exam usually consists of a thorough breast exam, pelvic exam and/or pap smear, screening for HPV (cervial cancer), chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Pregnancy testing and counseling is available.
