Services

Health Services is a fully equipped primary care facility.

Students are seen by appointment only with exceptions made for medical urgencies. In addition to evaluating and treating illnesses and injuries, we provide the following services: travel medicine, gynecological care, and physicals for study away programs and jobs.

Acute illnesses or injuries require prompt care but can be left untreated for a brief time. These may include minor injuries, fever, sore throat, cough, ear/eye pain, sprains/strains, minor head injuries, headache, nausea/vomiting, urinary symptoms, and sexual health concerns.

Health Services is glad to complete physicals for travel abroad, athletic participation, internships and other student needs. Please make sure to supply us with any paperwork required prior to your scheduled appointment.

Health Services maintains a small on-site lab for urinalysis, pregnancy tests, and strep tests. We send other blood work and cultures by courier to a local laboratory. Results for most tests are available within 24-36 hours and are sent directly to Health Services.

We are also equipped to handle routine lab orders from outside providers. Please email a copy of your order for review and we will schedule a time to complete your lab work.

Students are referred to local facilities for any imaging they may need. Board certified radiologits are available to read the films daily.

Labs and imaging completed at outside facilities will be billed to the student's health insurance plan.

Getting screened for STI's and learning how to prevent them is an important part of taking responsibility for your health. At Health Services, we offer FREE STI Tests for students. We take medical confidentiality very seriously. Call (207) 725-3770 if you have questions or would like to set up an appointment for an STI screening.

Results are usually available within 5 to 7 days.

We also offer appointments for contraception counseling and treatment, routine GYN exams (including annual pap tests), as well as opportunities to discuss all birth control options with prescriptions for pills, patches, rings, and Depo-Provera. We frequently coordinate referrals to Planned Parenthood for IUD or implant insertions.

Plan B is available at Health Services without an appointment. Inquire at the front desk.

While Health Services can care for most student concerns, sometimes we need to refer a student to another office for more specialized care. We will help you to arrange an appointment time and transportation if needed. These services include:

physical therapy
dental needs
eye care, including prescriptions for glasses or contacts
Medical specialists

If you receive allergy injections, you will need to establish care with an allergy office. Health Services will provide taxi vouchers for travel to and from appointments. Below are links to local options for allergy treatment.
