A student living in the Saratoga area is not eligible for services unless one of the previously stated requirements are met.   

Medical Visits

To better serve students and provide a safe environment for everyone, we ask you to schedule an appointment in advance rather than walk in to be seen. We can usually offer same- or next-day appointments and we will do our best to make sure you are seen as quickly as possible.  Health Services provides both acute and routine care.  

Examples of acute/illness/injury visits include:

  • Flu-like symptoms (fever, aches), upper respiratory symptoms (sore throat, cough) 
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) 
  • Musculoskeletal injuries 
  • Care for chronic illnesses, often in collaboration with home and/or specialty providers 
  • Routine follow-up for eating disorders, including lab work
  • Sexual and reproductive health care
  • Referrals to specialists 

Examples of routine visits include:

  • Physical exams needed for internships, travel abroad or work
  • Preventative health counseling
  • Starting birth control
  • Routine STI testing
  • Immunizations
  • Blood test and lab work (with order from provider already)
