The Willamette Valley, which includes Corvallis, is notorious for causing increased symptoms for allergy and asthma sufferers, especially for those with seasonal allergies. Allergies can trigger asthmatic symptoms, though asthma can also occur without allergic symptoms.
Our goal is to best control your symptoms and help improve your quality of life. If you need treatment for symptoms, medication refills, or a medical evaluation, please make an appointment with a clinician. The nurses in the department see patients who are referred by a clinician for pulmonary function testing, education, or information on available resources. Nurses also work with outside providers to give allergy shots
As college health care providers, we will provide your allergy and asthma care with the ultimate goal of keeping you fit and healthy so you can be academically successful. If needed, we can refer you to other campus resources to assist you with issues unrelated to healthcare.
If your symptoms are life threatening call 9-1-1.
If you are having difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Come to Student Health Services, or at an alternate clinic or Emergency Room after hours.
Bring a list of all medications with you to your appointment, along with any other relevant information.
