The
fall semester at UWL exposes students to a lot of new people, cultures,
and plenty of new germs. Within the weeks of school and at streesful
times throughout, many students find themselves getting sick. It is
important for students to know what the Student Health Center can
provide during the school year.
SHC
staff recommends that students maintain a healthy diet, create strong
sleep habits, and keep drinking to a minimum, all of which are reasons
why students get sick early on and throughout the year. Its very common
that students get sick because they are placed within confined living
quarters and generally are exposed to classrooms that have many germs
being spread throughout.
The
SHC provides a medical dispensary, immunization services, medical
evaluation and treatment, etc. All UWL students have the ability to use
the facility at their convenience as long they are taking at least one
credit. The SHC is located on the first floor of the Health Science
Center near the information kiosk. For more information about UWL’s
Student Health Center visit http://www.uwlax.edu/studenthealth/index.htm or call (608) 785-8558 for an appointment or questions.
