  • The Center will work closely with the College's Peer Health Advocate Team and others on campus to provide wellness programming and information
  • Since all students are required to have health insurance (either the College's or their own), the Center can directly process and bill for services (that go outside of the normal evaluation and treatment in Stamey) as well as provide many medications on site (to reduce extra hassles of going to pharmacies, etc.) and in some cases refill prescriptions.  Please keep in mind that this will vary depending on individual situations and co-pays and deductibles that need to be met.
  • The Urgent Care Center is open five days a week (including Saturdays!) and there is always a fully licensed staff (including a doctor) available
  • The Urgent Care Center has a state of the art facility with technology that allows for immediate evaluation and treatment (x-rays, EKGs, laboratory tests, blood screens/analysis, etc.)
