Student Health Center
Located in LoGrasso Hall, and staffed with a physician, nurse practitioners and registered nurses, the Student Health Center is a good place to start if you have medical needs. The Student Health Center functions similar to that of an urgent care in that we are able to diagnose and treat acute illness and injury without having to leave campus.
