Student Health Services

Rutgers University Health Services, located on the first floor of Blumenthal Hall at 249 University Avenue on the Newark campus, provides comprehensive ambulatory health care and education for all full-time students and for those part-time students who have paid the student health service and insurance fee.

The health center is staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, pharmacists, mental health counselors, health educators, a registered dietician, and other professional staff. A wide range of services is provided, including general primary care, gynecology, health education, alcohol and other drug counseling, mental health services, immunizations, allergy desensitizations, laboratory tests, physical examinations, and referrals to other providers. Surgical and critical medical conditions are referred to the student`s personal physician, the proper specialist, or an outside hospital for treatment. The health center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday, Thursday, and Friday and to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. The center can be reached at 973/353-5231. Appointments are encouraged to reduce waiting time.
