2017-2018 Undergraduate Catalog

Health Services

Health Services offers daily first-response treatment for minor health-related issues. A physician and nurse practitioners are on campus for appointments throughout the week (Monday–Friday) at no cost to full-time undergraduate students. In September 2008, St. Vincent’s Medical Center began serving as the Physician/Medical Director for the Sacred Heart Health Center.

Staffed by registered nurses and open five days per week, Health Services also handles state immunization requirements and University insurance requirements and coordinates health promotion workshops. Health Services can also make referrals to local healthcare facilities and arrange with a local pharmacy to deliver to campus. For additional information about Health Services, call 203-371-7838.

Students needing medical attention when the Student Health Center is closed can see a physician at St. Vincent Immediate Health Care (urgent care center), 2979 Main Street, Bridgeport, CT 203-371-4445 or St. Vincent Medical Center (hospital), 2800 Main Street, Bridgeport, CT 203-576-6000.
