Clinical Health Services

Assumption University offers an array of health services which are included in tuition.

Licensed, certified Nurse Practitioners assess and treat health problems of full-time undergraduate students. Services offered by Student Health Services (SHS) are covered by undergraduate tuition, you do not need to purchase the school health insurance plan in order to receive care.

Routine visits to SHS are free for full-time undergraduate students. Additional costs for certain services may apply, and are charged to the student’s health insurance. Services that are generally charged to your insurance include:

Pharmacy prescriptions
Lab services
X-ray and radiology services

Clinic visits at SHS are by appointment, and most appointments can be arranged within one business day. Appointments can be made online or by calling the office. To schedule online, please use the online Patient Wellness Portal, call the office at 508-767-7329 to make an appointment. (Annual physical exams and immunizations are not available through SHS. Students obtain those services through their Primary Care Provider outside of school.)

All clinical services are strictly confidential.

Student Health Services does make referrals to community health care providers/specialists and other resources. These may be billed to your insurance provider. Students can also visit local urgent care clinics and emergency departments when Student Health Services is closed.

Local, offsite urgent/ emergency care locations and pharmacies.
Emergency

Any emergency occurring on the Campus should be referred immediately to Public Safety at 508-767-7777. Public Safety is the emergency services coordinator on campus. All Officers are trained as First Responders. Transportation to a local hospital will be arranged or an ambulance will be directed to campus. Call 911 for all off-campus emergencies.

No-Cost Cab Service for Immediate Medical Needs
