In Student Health Services, emphasis is placed on preventive medicine and on positive health practices which will become a part of each student's lifestyle. Programs designed to assist students in developing values and skills related to achieving a high level of health are presented each semester. Incoming freshmen and transfer students, both resident and commuters, must submit a current health history, proof of current immunization and physical examination prior to entrance. Additional health requirements exist for students enrolled in programs with clinical affiliations.

The Health Services Department offers a broad range of services to both resident and commuter students. These services include diagnosis and treatment of illness and minor injuries, physical examinations, health education, and laboratory testing. The Health Services on the Chalon campus is staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and specially trained office staff. Appointments may be made with the medical provider or nurses throughout the week. There is no cost to the student for provider visits; however, supplemental fees for laboratory testing and medications may be assessed.

Referrals for specialist and emergency services can also be made.
