Student Health Center

Dear Parents

Once a student is registered for classes, they may take advantage of the services provided by the Student Health Center.  The Student Health Center is designed to meet our students’ basic health care needs. Our services include treatment of acute illnesses, physicals for nursing students and pre-employment/internships, gynecological services, vaccinations and various testing. The nurse practitioners may prescribe medications as needed.

Currently our fee for an office visit is $10.  If necessary, additional fees for lab work or other diagnostic tests may be incurred. We have negotiated with a well known laboratory to obtain low prices for our students. The Student Health Center does not accept health insurance at this time.

Health promotion and wellness education is a big part of our outreach to students. We speak at length to all our students regarding maintaining healthy lifestyles while in college. Health education brochures and information are provided throughout the academic year.

Our nurse practitioners work with the UAH Counseling Center to meet all our student’s needs, addressing issues surrounding a distressed student and prevention. All information is kept confidential.

If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free at anytime to contact us online at SHC@uah.edu or directly at 256.824.6775.
