Services
The Student Health and Wellness Center offers both clinical and health education services.
We treat acute problems such as bronchitis, ear infections, strep throat, flu, mono, urinary infections, sexually transmitted infections, headaches, allergy symptoms, skin rashes, colds, pinkeye, minor burns, depression, and anxiety.
We also offer health education programming for the residence halls, organizations and individuals; some examples include substance abuse, tobacco use/smoking cessation, eating disorders, sexual health, and stress management.

Emergency Contraception
Emergency Contraception (EC) works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation and will not disrupt an implanted pregnancy. EC pills reduce the chance of pregnancy by 75%-89%. It must be taken within 72 hours of intercourse.
Emergency contraception is available at participating pharmacies, such as CVS, without a prescription for individuals 18 years of age and older. Please note, some pharmacies, such as Wal-Mart, do not dispense EC. The Health Department is also a resource at 434.392.8187 and so is 1.888.NOT.2.LATE (http://not-2-late.com).
