Appointments
Registered
Nurses
Call
the Student Health Center at (970) 351-2412. A receptionist will
ask for a brief description of your needs, which will allow her
to appoint you with an appropriate provider. Please arrive
15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow for
the completion of necessary paperwork. If you have past
records or prescriptions that you feel will be useful for your
provider in planning your care, please bring them with
you. Please cancel your appointment if you will not be
able to keep it.
Hours
Appointments
can be scheduled from 8:00 a.m. through 4:15 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Call ahead during the holidays as there
may be different hours. Most appointments with Nurse
Practitioners and Physicians are for 15 minutes only.
However, women's health exams and physicals may be for 30
minutes.
Providers
There
are a variety of health care providers available for your care
at the Student Health Center. Triage Registered Nurses are
available for illness and injury consultation, immunizations,
and testing. Nurse Practitioners see patients for acute
illness and injury, management of stable chronic disease and
well care, including women's health exams, STD testing, and
contraceptive needs. Physicians are available to treat
complex health problems. A few specialists provide
services on a limited basis. Physical Therapists function
in assessment and treatment of acute orthopedic complaints.
Missed
Appointment Charge
If
you are unable to keep an appointment, call the Student Health Center so
another student may be scheduled. You will be charged $6 for a
missed appointment if you fail to cancel an appointment within
one hour of the time the physician is scheduled to arrive or the
Nurse Practitioner's schedule begins. Registered Nurse
appointments must be canceled 24 hours in advance to avoid a $6
