The primary function of the Student Health Center at Kansas State University is to provide a medical facility capable of offering health care for most medical needs in the University community through a coordinated and integrated department within the institution.
The Student Health program assists the students in the following ways:
- Providing quality medical care to the individual student attending the University (outpatient care for illness, immunizations and health education).
- Assisting other University departments in providing a healthy environment, e.g. Communicable Disease Committee, Campus Safety, Disabled Student Services, etc.
- Providing the opportunity for health education (classroom instruction, individual contact in clinic, articles on health in University newspapers).
- Consult and actively participate with the Student Health Advisory Committee whose activities include providing a liasion between the student body and the Health Center.
- Providing the opportunity through the Student Health Advisory Committee for better understanding of the Student Health program.
