Services

Wellness Services at Hunter College offers a range of clinical services, as well as health-related activities, information, and resources that are responsive to the needs of students.

The Office of Health Services offers primary care services including vaccinations, physical exams, STI/HIV testing, and the evaluation of, and treatment for, a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries. Clinical care is provided by our nurse practitioner (NP). Other members of the staff promote good health and disease prevention through health education activity and events that occur throughout the year.

When your health care needs require more than we can provide, we offer community-based resources and referrals.

• Physical examinations (for eligible students)
• Vaccinations for Flu, MMR, & HPV (for eligible students)
• Emergency care
• Short-term medically-related respite
