Principles of the Student Health Service
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. To achieve this requires the cooperation of University elements: the administration, the faculty, the non-teaching personnel, the students, and many non-campus agencies.
- 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.
Through cooperative efforts with other resources in the University community and the general community, health care and wellness promotion can be effectively and efficiently offered and delivered to Kansas State University students.
