Nurse and Medical Provider Clinic
Nurses can provide first aid treatment, illness assessment with development of an individual self-care plan and health and wellness education. If the nurse determines that you should see an advanced medical provider (doctor or nurse practitioner) an appointment will be made with the SBCC provider or a referral can be made to a local medical clinic. Drop in for a nursing assessment or call the office, 965-0581 x2298, for an appointment.
Medical provider appointments are made after an initial assessment by one of the health center nurses. SBCC medical provider services are limited to basic visits, assessment and treatment of short term/acute illness and minor or uncomplicated medical problems. Low cost prescription and home care instructions are available. Referrals to community agencies will be provided for any presenting issue beyond the scope of the SBCC health center medical provider.
Medical provider visits are free of charge to students currently enrolled at SBCC. A current student ID card is required. Prescription medication and lab tests have a nominal fee and will be charged to the student.
Some services requiring outside referral include: routine physical examinations, chronic disease management, extensive diagnostic tests (lab or x-ray), more complicated assessments / treatments, physical/respiratory therapy or other invasive procedures/exams.
