Weigel Health Center provides health and wellness services for all registered students, including part-time, full-time, commuter, residential, Graduate, and Undergraduate students. In addition to diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries, we stress health education and preventive medicine. Students are seen by appointment. Walk-in appointments are also available. There is no charge for services, regardless of insurance coverage.
Our educational program sponsors professionals and peer educators who present topics on health issues, such as wellness, stress management, sexuality, violence, and alcohol and other drug-abuse prevention. Educational resources are available for student research or classroom projects.
