Health and Counseling Services
Access to health and wellness services is one of the most important things we can provide to you. Hood's partnership with Frederick Health provides the following health services for all Hood College students. Health services are available while classes are in session (August - May).
- Primary Care - including routine healthcare and referrals, as needed
- Urgent Care - including treatment for illness and minor injuries
- Sports Physicals
- Sexual Health - pregnancy testing, supportive education, and STD testing/treatment
- Health and Wellness - including immunization and referrals, as needed
In addition, we know that college is an exciting time, but it is also a time of greater independence and responsibility. Many students work to help cover the cost of attendance, and some have family responsibilities to manage in addition to their coursework. Trying to manage these demands can be difficult and Hood College Counseling Services is available to help by providing:
- Guided self-help
- Group therapy
- Short term, goal oriented individual therapy
- Referrals to a community mental health provider
Payments and Fees
Most health services are available at no cost to you. Flu vaccine, TB testing, x-rays, and lab processing, such as for STI testing, may have associated fees which may be covered by a student's insurance provider.
All Hood College students are required to have health insurance coverage.
Hood College Counseling Services is free to students and does not bill insurance.
