Services We Provide

Student Health Services is a clinic that is designed to accommodate the basic health needs of the students of NGCSU and teach prevention and self help skills to students.

Student Health Fees are $70.00 per semester. The fee covers services rendered in the health clinic except specific immunizations (see web site), laboratory test and birth control options provided in the Women's & Men's Health Clinic. Graduate Students, Student Teachers, and Students Interns should contact the Business Office to ensure that their Health Fee has been paid. All students must have paid their Health Fee in order to take advantage of the services offered by Student Health Services.

Walk-ins are welcome and appointments are available for the Physician and the Women's and Men's Clinic, but all situations the medical staff deems an emergency will be taken first. Among the services provided are acute injury, acute illness care, general health maintenance, wellness education, resource information, and routine blood pressure screening.  A selection of prescription medications is also available. 

Prescription medications can only by prescribed and delivered by the Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioners, or College Physician. A prescription can be written by the College Physician or called into a local pharmacy by the Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioners if the needed medication is not available at the clinic.  When patients need more specialized care after our evaluation, they are referred to an off-campus specialist or to their personal physician based on the student's insurance policy.

A self-care center is available with basic medical supplies and several over-the-counter medications.

Screening tests include CLIA-waved test such as Strep A., Mono, Influenza, Accu-checks (glucose), hemoglobin, urinalysis, and urine pregnancy testing.

Injections available include antibiotic and anti-inflammatories. Immunizations and vaccinations are also available.
