Student Health Education and Compliance

Our knowledgeable staff provides care coordination and healthcare navigation services to students. We help students connect to primary care providers, specialty providers, physical therapy services, home health care providers, pharmacy providers, and more. We assist all students, including those who are acutely ill, those living with chronic illness, and those who are well and are simply looking to establish care.
