Services Provided

We see students by appointment with the physician, nurse practitioners. There is no cost to be evaluated. Please call our main number for an appointment.

Diagnostic testing, such as x-rays or more extensive laboratory tests are done off campus.

There is a minimal charge for some medications and supplies.

Our services include visits for illnesses, injuries and women's health services.

All medical visits and records maintained by the Health Service are confidential. If you are over 18, no one outside the Health Service staff has access to them, and no one will be given information from them without your written consent.

`Health Education`

The Student Health Service offers educational and reference materials, programming, and professional consultation.

`Allergy Injections`

The dose schedule and allergens must be provided through a private allergist. We have a materials charge (syringes, alcohol wipes, etc.) of $15.00 per semester.

Treatment MUST be initiated by the student's allergist and the ESCU Allergen Immunotherapy Order Form must be filled out (See Forms). Students MUST receive their first allergy shot at their Allergists office. All serums must be provided by the Allergist as we do not refill serums. We highly recommend that you store your own serums. Student Health Services can hold your serums but we are not responsible should the serum become damaged ( power outage, dropped, etc.)

All students will be required to stay in Student Health Services for 30 minutes after the injections so plan accordingly.

Please call 860-465-5263 with any further questions.

`Depo- Provera injections`

Student Health Services  can administer Depo- Provera but it must be prescribed by your personal provider. Prior to your first injection here you will provide clinical documentation of a previous injection.

Documentation must include physicians order, site and date of your most recent injection.
If it has been over 13 weeks you will be required to have a pregnancy test.

`Administration of Injectable Medications`

Student Health Services is able to assist with injections when a student is incapable of self 
injections. Please contact Christine Walley at walleyc@easternct.edu

STI Testing

Testing is available for HIV and other common Sexually Transmitted Infections. Some testing is free of charge 
through the state of Connecticut. It is very important when you call to let us know if you are testing
because you have symptoms ( new spots, rash, discharge or pain) or if you just want to be sure you do not have an STI. 
If you call and say you feel fine but just want testing but when you arrive you say you have symptoms, we may
have to reschedule you.

`Vaccinations`

We currently do not provide vaccinations.

 All required vaccinations are offered at your Primary Care office.

There are also multiple pharmacies that offer vaccinations.
