Health and Wellness Services

The Health and Wellness Center is the medical and counseling office for students.

Services Overview

We are located on-campus in the Wegmans School of Nursing building. As licensed professionals with experience working with university students, the staff at the Health and Wellness Center can help to address a wide variety of medical, mental health, and personal concerns. 

All current students have access to confidential care, appointments, and consultative services. We will do our best to ensure that your needs are met, whether through our providers on campus or referrals to off-campus as needed.

To ensure we are prepared to provide you with the best possible care when visiting the Health and Wellness Center, we use an online patient portal for secure, health-related information and communication. For more information or to request an appointment, visit the patient portal (login required).

Counseling

The counseling team at the Health and Wellness Center offers confidential, no-cost mental health services and resources to undergraduate and graduate students.

Health Education and Outreach

We support students developing healthier lives by offering a variety of programs, services, events, and initiatives that address mental and physical health and well-being. Explore the Health Education Services page for more information.

We also offer several resources related to alcohol and drug education.

Medical Excuse Policy

In general, it is the student’s responsibility to discuss a missed class with their instructor(s). However, the Health and Wellness Center is able to assist students through the FisherLink system if a medical or mental health issue impedes their ability to attend classes on a long-term basis. 

Confidentiality

The medical and counseling records maintained by the Health and Wellness Center fall under FERPA regulations. All counseling and medical records are kept confidential and cannot be released to outside parties without written permission or consent, except as required by law. 

We offer an online Authorization for the Release of Information Form, which can be completed electronically. This is located on the patient portal under the forms tab.
