Student health center
offers array of services
■ WELL BEING: Health care
on campus is available for all
enrolled students seven days
a week
By April Carmichael
for the Oregon Daily Emerald
College students have a lot to
worry about, from classes to so
cial interaction. But they don’t
have to fret about their mental or
physical health with the Student
Health Center and the Counseling
Center nearby.
“One of the reasons it’s impor
tant to let the students know
about the health center is because
most students don’t think they are
going to get sick,” said Gerald
Fleischli, medical director of the
Student Health Center. “But the
reality is that in any one year,
three-fourths of the students will
use the center at least once.”
The health center has a staff of
more than 100, including a dozen
clinicians and numerous board
certified physicians. The physi
cians have many different special
ities, including family practice,
internal examination, pediatrics,
gynecology, allergy and psychia
try.
Some of the services the center
provides are diagnosis and treat
ment of illnesses and injuries, ur
gent care, dental services, allergy
skin testing, a women’s health
care clinic, mental health coun
seling, physical therapy and
sports medicine, x-ray services, a
medical laboratory and pharmacy
services.
“One thing many people don’t
realize is that during the regular
term, we are open seven days a
week,” said Fleischli. “Students
can come on the weekend to be
treated here, where it is much
cheaper than at an emergency
room.”
The charge to see a clinician at
the health center is $3, while
Fleischli estimates a trip to the
hospital emergency room can run
about $100.
Regular students of the Univer
sity can use the health center fa
cilities, and most fees are already
paid by the health fee, which is
built into tuition.
For services that are not cov
ered by the health fee, students
can send the bill to their insur
ance companies. If they don’t
have insurance, they can pur
chase some from the health cen
ter. Payment plans are also avail
able.
The health center deals with
more than just students’ physical
health. University services are
also here to help students main
tain their mental and psychologi
cal fitness. The counseling center
is in place for that very reason.
Group counseling as well as in
dividual help is available.
“Some of the groups focus on
eating disorders, personal issues,
and children of alcoholics,” Jon
Davies, a psychologist who works
in the counseling center, said. “In
the past, we have had groups for
students who are older than the
average student, women’s issues
and sex abuse issues. Groups are
set up when the need arises for
them.”
Relationship counseling for
couples, as well as counseling
that deals with concerns between
faculty members and students can
be arranged.
All services are free of charge,
and any enrolled student is eligi
ble to receive them.
The center has drop-in hours,
during which time any student
can come in for a consultation
with a therapist.
Pass it on.
