THIS WEEK'S SERVICE HIGHLIGHT:
Western Student Health Center
Taking care of yourself is important! Healthcare is the most important and often one of the most neglected things in our lives. Keeping on top of your personal health can be expensive and time-consuming, especially for those of us without employer-provided insurance or a primary care provider. Luckily, Western and UWL has partnered with Mayo Health Systems to provide access to high-quality healthcare for all Western Students. For those with a Western Student ID, visits only cost a $10 co-pay and include primary care, care for chronic health problems, minor surgical procedures, medical management of mental health concerns, gynecological services, immunization and TB testing, physical exams, reproductive services, basic lab services, allergy injections, HIV testing and counseling, physical therapy services, consultation, and referral.
The Student Health Center is located in the Health Services Building on the corner of 13th Street and Badger. Appointments can be made in person Monday - Friday, 8AM - 4PM or online at https://www.uwlax.edu/student-health-center.

It’s been an incredibly eventful year so far, and through all my activities I’ve made some friendships that I hope last for years to come. I’m also thankful for my family and all their support with my life and education. It’s been a great year and I can’t wait to spend this break relaxing and focusing on the important things."
