Health Center

The Health Center is staffed by a team of health care professionals, including two certified nurse practitioners. Medical and gynecological appointments are available Monday through Friday while classes are in session.

All registered students are eligible for services at the center. All undergraduate traditional-age (under 25 years) full-time students are required to have medical information, including a physical examination and immunization records, on file at the Hood College Health Center. Copies of the required health forms may be found on the Hood website at http://www.hood.edu/Campus-Life/Health-Center/forms.html

All medical records are confidential. Access to information is limited to authorized health center personnel, unless the student gives written consent or upon receipt of court-ordered subpoena. Medical records are destroyed seven years post-graduation or withdrawal.

The center operates on a wellness model, focusing on preventive care and education to help students develop skills to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The center staff provides outpatient care for illnesses and injuries as well as referrals for services beyond the scope of the center. Nursing staff members are available for consultation for faculty and staff.
