The health fee assures access to primary care on campus for all students, so they can be seen on the day they choose without co-pays, deductibles, etc. Health Services does not bill any health insurance companies for any office visits to our provider staff. Health Services offers same-day appointments with medical providers 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends during the academic year.
The health fee benefits all students. Our services include, but are not limited to:
- The primary care of staff physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nursing
- Onsite waived laboratory testing
- An active Health Promotion department focusing on education, prevention, and counseling of health, drug, alcohol, sexual assault, and nutrition services.
- An onsite RI state-licensed Emergency Medical Services and ambulance which provides rapid response to on-campus emergencies
- Visits to Counseling and Psychological Services, including crisis visits
- Assured compliance with all legal health requirements such as immunizations
- Student outreach programs such as free flu shots and other activities to keep the campus safe and to respond to community health issues as they arise
- 24/7 nursing advice and on-call physician services
- For convenience, there are onsite contracted laboratory services and a full pharmacy (separate charges apply for these services and are billed to the student health insurance).
The availability of an on-campus Health and Wellness assures confidentiality for all students, provides easy, convenient access to health care, and allows for minimal disruption to student academic activities.
