Student Health Services

The Student Health Center is located at 326 Penn Street, Camden, NJ 08102 (856/225-6005). Medical and psychological services are available to all full-time graduate and undergraduate students. Part-time students may become eligible by paying the health service and insurance fee to the Office of Student Health Insurance, Hurtado Health Center, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 11 Bishop Place, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-1180.

Open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and during the fall and spring terms, Monday until 7:00 p.m., the Student Health Center is staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, and psychologists, as well as a part-time consulting psychiatrist and a substance abuse counselor. A wide variety of services is provided, including general health care, gynecology, health education, assistance with alcohol and substance abuse, short-term psychotherapy and psychiatric evaluation, laboratory tests, immunizations, allergy treatment, and referrals to other providers. Surgical and critical medical conditions are not treated at the health center, but are referred to the student`s personal physician, the proper specialist, or an outside hospital for treatment.

Students are urged to use the health center for medical treatment, health education, preventive medicine, and psychological counseling. Appointments are encouraged to reduce waiting time. Services are rendered confidentially. Some health services rendered by outside consultants and facilities are the financial responsibility of the student.
