Primary Care

Medical Assistant with student

Students can use the medical services at the UHS just as they would at their regular doctor's office and urgent care center.

Students can use all services at UHS whether or not they have the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP).

Our facility is fully accredited, and staffed by licensed and/or board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nutritionists, and nurses. 

NEW: Decline to Weigh Initiative

University Health Services is committed to providing weight-inclusive care. At UHS medical appointments, students can decline to be weighed or decline to know their weight.
