Health counseling and education are integrated into every nursing consultation. Outreach health education activities are coordinated with various departments and student groups. A broad range of free health information pamphlets are available to students within in the health office as well as the brochure rack just outside of the health office. Additional health-related media material (books, videos, etc.) are maintained on campus and are available for student check out. We will continue to expand the website links to reputable sites that provide important information related to college health issues.
The nurse is available for student group presentations on a variety of health and wellness topics including, but not limited to:
- Stress Management
- Improving Sleep
- Cold/Flu Prevention
- Depression and Suicide Prevention
- Safe Sex
- Safe Partying
- Making Wise Choices
- Birth Control - including the new, more effective methods
- CPR/Basic Life Support Certification Classes
- Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
- Mental Health First Aid Certification Classes
Part of the student health fee provides registered students with health insurance coverage for care of injuries sustained on campus.
The college does not directly provide any general health insurance coverage for students. Students who are currently uninsured or underinsured are strongly encouraged to sign up for insurance through Covered California.
