Clinical Services
The Baruch College Student Health Care Center provides students with a full range of clinical health services, including initial diagnosis and treatment for a broad spectrum of illnesses and injuries. When necessary, referrals will be made. Gynecological care, such as pap smears and pregnancy testing, is available, as are immunizations and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Most of these services are free, although lab and some other services may require a small fee. Over-the-counter drugs are provided free. The center is staffed with fully licensed medical staff, usually a nurse practitioner, an MD, or physician's assistants. Medical records are strictly confidential.

Health & Wellness Programs and Events
Adopting health behaviors such as eating nutritious foods, practicing safe sex, avoiding drugs, alcohol and tobacco and being physically active can control and/or prevent the devastating consequences of many diseases. The College's Health & Wellness program provides various workshops, seminars, health fairs and other health promotion events throughout the academic year to raise awareness and help students adopt healthy behaviors. Events are inclusive of and responsive to the diverse backgrounds of our students.
