I’m excited about this opportunity to welcome you and your student to the OSU family. There are many questions and concerns parents have when sending a child to college. Some are academic, others are about those experiences of daily living that your child may not have encountered alone before. At University Health Services, we have been providing medical and health services to students for nearly 100 years. We offer high-quality care from eight medical providers and have been a nationally accredited health center since 1995. With an in-house pharmacy, lab and X-ray, most students can have all their needs met under one roof in one visit. Our services offer your child easy access to medical services, conveniently located in the center of OSU’s residential living areas. From routine care for the typical seasonal illnesses, to treatment for injuries of all types, we are here for your child’s needs. If your child has special medical needs, feel free to contact our office to discuss how we might serve to support the care and treatment provided by your family physicians. Best wishes for a successful first year experience, Stephen Rogers Director, University Health Services
