Two Organizations - One Mission: Ensuring a Healthy ESU Student.
All students should be sure to take their ESU I.D. with them to register.
Once registered at the Student Health Center, ESU students will be triaged by a registered nurse who will determine the level of care necessary.
Students will be seen by a Certified Registered Nursing Practitioner (CRNP) or a physician.
The Student Health Center will accept cash, credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Students should have their insurance information available in the event referrals and/or a higher level of care is needed.
