What To Bring
Please bring the following to your appointment:
- A list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications, including supplements, that you currently take

- Your student ID card
Important Notice
SHS does NOT issue medical excuses for missed classes. Students should communicate with their instructors if they are too ill to attend class. Please refer to the Dean of Students Office for additional information on the CARE Team as a resource.
What To Expect
At your first appointment, you will fill out new patient forms and receive informed consent documents. Some of the forms may include standard screenings that we ask of every student, regardless of the purpose of their visit. These screenings are universal for all students and reflect best practices to connect you with any additional resources you may need.
Referrals
Our providers may refer you to community resources for certain diagnostic tests, x-rays, and other procedures. Your insurance may be used at such appointments to cover additional costs.
