About Student Health Services
We are a team of highly qualified, caring health professionals who are dedicated to improving the health and wellness of our university community. We appreciate the unique environment of a university campus.
We’re here to help students build the skills and capacity they need to become equal partners in their health care so they can be successful while at Oregon State University and throughout their lives.
Our students can be reassured that their health is supported by clinicians, health educators and other professionals who provide campus-wide comprehensive primary health care, disease prevention and treatment services, as well as extensive health promotion programs.

Policies & guidelines
Our policies and guidelines ensure that all students receive fair, confidential treatment.
Students have patient rights which include treatment with respect, consideration, dignity, and privacy. SHS staff pledges patient confidentiality. Patients have the right to know who is providing service, choose clinicians, and change clinicians.
As partners in health care, students have patient responsibilities to present accurate information about their illness or complaints in a manner that is cooperative. Patients are asked to keep appointments and to cancel with advance notice. Patients should comply with treatment plans and ask for clarification of information of instruction when needed.
Please review these guidelines and become familiar with SHS policies:
