*For students taking credit courses only* The Student Health Service assists students in achieving their educational goals by providing services that address their physical and emotional health needs. Students are also informed of community resources that are available to them, and educated to become more effective health care consumers. PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES Services include short-term psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and faculty consultation. Each semester there are several groups that are conducted by staff on such topics as procrastination, surviving incest, eating disorders, relaxation and meditation. MEDICAL/NURSING HEALTH SERVICE Services include campus emergency care, first aid, nursing assessment and treatment of common acute illnesses, TB tests, vision tests, blood pressure screening, selected immunizations, reproductive health care, preventive health promotion counseling, referrals to specialists, and nurses are available for faculty consultation. These services are provided by nurse practitioners. A very limited part-time physician is available by prior appointment as a consultant for nurses. A Womens/Family Planning Clinic, staffed by nurse practitioners, provides family planning services to those who qualify for the State Family P.A.C.T. Program. This service includes PAP, STD screening, breast exam, birth control methods, etc. Many of our services are free; however, some services are charged on a sliding scale basis or a small supply fee. Students are financially responsible for all their off-campus health care charges. The Health Fee paid by credit students each semester supports the Student Health Center. For more information
