Here for your health
Located in the heart of campus, the Gustavus Health Service provides comprehensive medical care that goes beyond what most small colleges offer. Services range from routine care and lab work to off-campus referrals and coordination with home providers. A wide range of insurance plans are accepted. Pre-packaged prescriptions are available for the most commonly prescribed medications during appointments, and care is offered both in person and virtually.
Care is always confidential, supportive, and student-centered. Our medical team understands the pace and pressures of college life—taking time to listen, answer questions, and help you stay well.
