What if I already have a primary care provider?

If you already have a primary care provider, you should continue to access care through them for the management of chronic conditions to ensure you get continuous, coordinated care. If you require care for acute illness, our Nurse Practitioners can help.

Student Health and Wellness provides comprehensive medical and supportive care for mental health challenges. The healthcare provider is available to diagnose and treat many psychiatric concerns and can refer you to a specialist or psychiatrist  as necessary.

Please note: our healthcare providers will not diagnose ADHD, however they can refer you to a specialist for assessment. They can also assist you with documentation for Student Accessibility Services.
