Health Services
Health Services offers confidential non-emergency medical care to students to support their health and wellness and is located in the Wellness Center on the ground floor of St. Joseph wing in Our Lady of Guadalupe Hall.
We have one Registered Nurses on staff and one Nurse Practitioner who provide a wide variety of services: prescriptions for minor ailments, referrals to other medical professionals, flu shots, immunizations, suture removals, laboratory testing, STI testing, and pap smears. There isn't a fee to see the nurse or nurse practitioner; however, there may be a minimal fee for laboratory testing and immunizations. Unfortunately, we do not bill to insurance, but our laboratory and immunization fees are minimal and we can help you get reimbursed from your insurance company. Appointments are recommended but not always necessary. A nurse practitioner offers a weekly clinic
Tuesday Clinic
Our nurse practitioner, Denise Smigaj, sees students every Tuesday afternoon from 1:00-5:15, during the fall and spring semesters when school is in session. She provides assistance for students who may need medical prescriptions called into a local pharmacy. Please call for an appointment!

How do I submit my wellness charges to my insurance?
Although individual office visits are included in the Health Center Fee charged on a semester basis, some lab tests and vaccinations may incur a charge. Students may pay these charges at the time of visit in the Wellness Center or ask to have them charged to their student account. In order for a student to submit these charges to their health insurance carrier they will need two pieces of information.
- A receipt either from the Wellness Center or a Statement of Account detailing the wellness center charge and corresponding payment made from the Business Office.
- A diagnostic code sheet from the Wellness Center which will have universally used codes describing the service provided and the charge.
In order for a student to submit these charges to a Health Savings Plan the student will have to go through submission to their health insurance first and then submit the Explanation of Benefits received from the insurance carrier to their Health Savings Plan.
