The Student Health Center is an urgent care facility conveniently located on the Saint Mary's College campus in the lower level of Augustine Hall. Our staff provides confidential clinical services to all Saint Mary's students with compassion and integrity. Our holistic approach supports the mind, body, and spirit.
Our staff provide medical services in an urgent care model to all enrolled students for illnesses and injuries. These services are provided regardless of health insurance or residential status. For serious or chronic illnesses, students are assessed by our Clinicians and referred or “bridged” to hospitals and medical providers in the community, if appropriate, or to their primary medical provider at home.

Eligibility
All enrolled Saint Mary's students are eligible to use the Student Health Center, no matter what insurance a student may have.
Confidentiality
Medical records are confidential and are protected by law. Therefore, information in a student's medical records, absent an order of the court (subpoena or warrant), may not be disclosed, discussed, or copied without the student's written consent, except in the case of public health matters where certain diseases are required to be reported to Contra Costa County Health Services. If medical information is requested by either a private Clinician or by the Student Health Center, this must be in writing with a release of information form signed by the student.
If a student is under 18, they may require parental/guardian consent to obtain certain services at the Student Health Center. The consent form can be found here
Medical Excuses
The Student Health Center does not issue class excuses but can provide documentation that a student was seen at the Student Health Center if needed.
