Office of Health & Wellness Services

 

Our Mission

The Office of Health & Wellness Services provides high-quality, holistic, easily accessible and cost-effective care to Suffolk students.  We aim to empower students to make healthy lifestyle choices through education, consultation, assessment and treatment. We maintain an on-going collaboration with university faculty, administration, staff, students, and the medical community. Our staff is committed to the diversity and understanding of each student within, but not limited to the contexts of circumstance, family, community, and culture.  We encourage and educate students to become advocates for their own healthcare which is essential to the overall academic success of university students.

Availability of Services

Our services are available to any Suffolk University student (who is currently registered for classes) and who is not a full time Suffolk University employee. We operate much like any clinic or primary care office. The main differences are: 1) we do NOT charge you a co-payment; 2) we offer urgent care walk-in hours daily for urgent medical conditions.  Our services include:

• Diagnosis and treatment of episodic illnesses
• Evaluation and treatment of injuries
• Gynecological care
• Contraceptive management and counseling
• Diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections
• Health and wellness counseling
• Administration of immunizations and vaccines
• Flu shot clinic
• Information and one-on one consultation with a Health Educator on a variety of topics 
• One-on-one nutrition consultations with a Registered Dietician
