.SERVICES
As an ambulatory health care facility on campus we encourage students to schedule an appointment to access care quickly and easily with the physician, nurse practitioner or nurses. Walk-ins will be accommodated. All of your records are confidential and are separate from your academic record.
IMMUNIZATIONS/MEASLES
All students born after 1956 are required to provide documentation of two measles (rubeola) inoculations or MMR. Subsequent registration will be held for non-compliance.
The other immunizations are not mandatory but are recommended as routine preventative care. Meningitis vaccine is also suggested for first year students living in the residence halls. PLEASE visit the Center for Disease Control website pertaining to their recommendations.
If you are a new student, please download the Immunization Record and return it the Health Center by Aug 1st.
HEALTH EDUCATION
Brochures are all readily available for your convenience at the Health Center and in Crosby Student Center.
REFERRAL SERVICE
All referrals outside the Health Center, emergency or otherwise, may be covered under the individual medical insurance plan. It is up to the individual to be responsible for any expenses incurred. For any after hours care or referral, you may need to consult with your primary care physician for pre-authorization to confirm your insurance coverage. Transportation can be arranged by calling the Gonzaga operator.
ELIGIBILITY
Only currently registered Gonzaga students are eligible for services.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The laws of confidentiality of the State of Washington cover all medical records. There can be no discussion or transfer of a student medical record without the students written consent.
