Advice for Students:
Student Health is a wonderful place to receive medical care. I
utilized the Elson Student Health Center as an undergraduate
student and had very positive experiences. This is a good time
in life to empower yourself as a health care consumer; Elson
Student Health is a safe place to develop the skills to navigate
the health care system.
