What
is Student
Health Services?
The mission of Student Health Services is "to enhance students' health by collaboratively providing basic health services, access to information and resources, advocacy for campus health policies, and prevention focused programming so that students can successfully pursue their academic, personal, and professional endeavors." Student Health Services does this in collaboration with Counseling Services by:
-Providing access to clinical health and mental health services
-Monitoring the health and mental health of students, the campus, and the community
-Identifying pertinent health and mental health concerns and issues
-Addressing health and mental health issues through collaborative health programming, services, and policies
-Serving as a consultant and resource for health and mental health related information and services
Certain clinical health services are provided through Student
Health Services for registered full-time and
part-time UWRF students through contractual agreements with
the River Falls Medical Clinic and the Pierce County Reproductive
Health Services. A portion of the segregated fees paid by
students supports Student Health Services. Students are eligible
for Student Health Services during the two academic terms,
and the January and Summer terms, as long as they are registered
for classes and have paid required fees. Students are eligible
between consecutive terms as long as they are registered for
the next term and have paid fees as required. While Student
Health Services covers certain limited health services for
students at the River Falls Medical Clinic and Pierce County
Reproductive Health Services, while students are eligible
(see above), Student Health Services is NOT health insurance.
