The Student Health Service is dedicated to serving students. We offer accessible and affordable care, with services designed to meet student needs. In addition to the clinical services that we offer, we work in close collaboration with the other health and wellness departments in the University Life Division, and with our colleagues in the University of Pennsylvania Health System. We also coordinate public health programs and activities for University students, administer the university’s immunization and insurance requirements and support the academic mission of the university through teaching, mentoring and research.

We continually assess our programs and services to make sure that we meet your expectations. Our accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations since 1990 means that we meet rigorous standards for healthcare delivery. Achieving accreditation demonstrates our commitment as a organization to provide quality care on an ongoing basis. We also look to the Student Health Advisory Board and the Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee for ongoing feedback to make sure that we are meeting student needs and concerns.

Our medical staff consists of general practitioners, adolescent medicine physicians, internists, and a gynecologist, each of whom has an appointment in the Departments of Medicine, or Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. Our health care team also includes nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, health educators, and trained peer health educators. We have staff consultants from Orthopedic, podiatry and nutritionist consultants are available on site in the Student Health Service for several sessions each week.
