Appointments are scheduled for all women's services and minor procedures.
All patients are triaged by a nurse prior to being seen by a clinician.
All patients should:
- Allow time for completing and/or updating personal data each semester.
- Bring proof of insurance coverage other than the Student Basic Policy each semester, as insurance coverage may change over time and correct information allows for accurate billing.
SHS is closed on weekends and university holidays.
If you need assistance when the clinic is closed call University Police at 482-6447 or seek care at a local Walk In Clinic or Emergency Room.
UL Lafayette Student Health Service follows the ethical guidelines of the medical
profession. Patient records are not a part
of any student's academic record. No information is released without written permission
(a signed written consent) from the patient except as required by state
law.
Students under the age of (18) eighteen must have a written
consent from their parent/guardian prior to treatment.
SHS will provide excuses only for students who have missed class while being seen in our clinic. Any extended excuse will be given at the discretion of the practitioner. Excuses given for a prolonged period of time will automatically be reported to the Dean of Students.
Policy on Chronic Medical Problems
Students with any chronic medical problem are to be under the care of their personal physician. SHS will work in collaboration with your physician to assist with blood work, x-ray, blood pressure readings, allergy injection administration, nebulizer treatments, and/or any other related procedure while you are attending UL Lafayette as long as your condition remains stable. Students with chronic medical problems can be assessed and treated at SHS for any other unrelated illness or injury.
Services not offered
Dental care, obstetrical care, and major surgical procedures are not available at SHS. In addition, motor vehicle accident related injuries, work related injuries, assaults involving litigation, orthopedic physicals, athletic physicals and immigration physicals are not seen at SHS. Our staff can provide local referrals for these services. The university does not provide transportation.
Here are just a few of the nice comments made by some
of our patients:
"The care I received here was excellent. I have never been taken care of this great in my whole life..."
"I feel very comfortable when I'm here."
"I thought everyone was very helpful and nice to me. I felt like they really did care about my condition!"
